Saturn and Jupiter are drawing close together. They're eleven days out from their Grand Conjunction. I figured I should start photographing them now, as the cloud cover makes astrophotography at this time of year a crap shoot. Actually, the more I think about it, it seems axiomatic that if it is the Winter Solstice, it's going to be pouring buckets... which... actually, thinking about it more, given the number of Winter Solstices where I've celebrated by candlelight from fire ignited by the Solstice Sun, maybe it pours buckets less than I think.
I'm looking forward to next week, when the crescent moon will swing by Saturn and Jupiter.
