  1. Planetary Occlusion

    Jeanne,

    The bright object you captured in the pic of Grace et al is probably the occlusion of Venus and Saturn, a rare astronomic event, making that a wonderfully historic Independence Day shot. Jupiter did not rise until later, and was not in the west at sunset for the latitude you were at:

    Those are beautiful pics.

    Wow! How cool is that? Thanks for the astronomy lesson, Matt. And thanks for the comment–another rare and wonderful event. 😉

    Glad you like the pictures!
