Coming march 25 to 27 the new moon is going to join venus and jupiter in the
afternoon sky. Being very thin at this point, the moon should balance nicely
with the duo and for those with clear skies some interesting views may include
Taurus and Orion.
I intend to shoot it, and will start looking for interesting add-ons (antennae,
structures), since my skies in this part of the year aren't usually that clear.
For those interested enough I'd point a link to study those nights (and others):
http://heavens-above.com - do choose your location, look for the whole sky map
and enter date and hour of interest.
thanks for the tip and the ideas for framing such a shot
i have been watching the dance of Venus & Jupiter; for those with a suitable
device, the SkySafari app is a good field tool for general observing and for
planning such shots: advance it to the date & time and aim the screen as if you
are looking through it to the section of sky in question, it will figure out
exactly what you will see at that time and direction, making it easy to
visualize the relation to features on the ground; eves of 25th & 26th look most
interesting to me, with the moon close to Jupiter & Venus respectively; on the
27th the three will be roughly equal-spaced
