Wordless Wednesday

"The Christmas Star" 2020. The first picture is a long exposure of Jupiter and Saturn together on December 21st 2020 at their closest point, taken from Central Georgia, USA. I did a long exposure to allow the light to soak into the barrel of the telescope and bounce off its internal mirrors and hardware to create this beautiful effect. The 2nd picture is what it looked like from the telescope eyepiece, rings of Saturn and Jupiter’s moons in full view. Merry Christmas. ~ Greg Hogan Photography
