Planet Scenes September 2023

September 27 My friend Mike Menke sent me this great picture of Venus over the Neckar River in Tübingen, Germany early that morning. |

September 19 Mercury temporarily joins Venus in the morning sky for a nice apparition. |

|
September 16 I finally got a picture of Jupiter and Uranus in eastern Aries just after midnight on the 16th of September, still more than a month prior to their respective oppositions, which means that they have already begun retrograding. |

September 12 Comet Nishimura is too low in the morning twilight to see any more (on this date it is only 14° from the Sun), so we have to console ourselves with a nice view of Venus and the Moon widely separated on either side of the ecliptic. |

September 9 Although my attempt to catch Comet Nishimura this morning basically failed, I did get a nice shot of Venus still in the immediate vicinity of M67 and α Cancri along with a thunderstorm in the distance. The few pixels I was able to record of Comet C/2023 P1 (Nishimura) are shown in the second picture LOL. |

September 1 We finally got clear skies in the morning, allowing us to catch Venus rising before sunrise after her inferior conjunction of August 13. |
