we managed to get a few good shots around siding spring observatory this week, including the lovely trio of mars, saturn and spica!
the dome of the AAT 4-meter telescope
you can see the AAT dome's silhouette in the lower left. the top of the triangle is a mars, the bottom right is saturn and blue star at the bottom left is spica. what struck me about this conjunction on the sky was how obviously the distant star spica twinkled through the atmosphere while the mars and saturn shined unflinchingly.
you can see the coalsack dark nebula right in the middle of this lovely image.
and because i never get tired of watching these creatures hopping around and eating grass....
