Mars, Jupiter and Aldebaran

On 08/01/2024 04:30 am by Steve Wilson| Salina, Kansas USA

With Mars and Jupiter close proximity to Taurus, I decided to get up early and see what I could get from my backyard. Took 196 photos at 30 seconds each, ISO 400. Thinking I need to shorten the exposure times so Jupiter, Mars, and Aldebaran wont be blown out so much. But I will have plenty of time to do this. Am looking forward to the conjunction of Jupiter and Mars in a couple of weeks.
