Bethlehem Star over a pretty sunset

Zoomed 4x

About 20 minutes later zoomed 4x. Getting to dark for my cell phone camera now, to take good pictures.

Would it be cool if the rapture occured? Maybe it did and I got left behind.

 

[Rammy]

I will be left behind, too. Saw the star and took pics also.

I saw it, didn't take a picture. I reckon I'm in the same lump of left behinds with y'all.

 

[Hinotori]

It's been windy driving rain here. Like most things in the sky, we don't get to see it.

So

I saw it, didn't take a picture. I reckon I'm in the same lump of left behinds with y'all.

I could actually see the rings of Saturn with my eyes, before the sunset. I tried to get a picture but none of them turned out

Meteors and a weird 1/2 moon top of the evening.

 

[Rammy]

Im going to try to see it again tonight. Even though they are farther apart, should still be interesting to see.

Jupiter is still super bright tonight. Can see the difference in colour with the naked eye. Beautiful sky here but the moon is also very bright
