The conjunction on 3-14-12

Had a chance to see the conjunction again and this time tried a few shots with the fisheye lens. My red flashlight made for a little bit of color on the snow.

Very pretty Ginger! I like being able to see the other constellations as well.

Thanks, Ken. Venus was so bright I was able to use "live view" to focus with the 8mm lens. That really helped.
