    @elbmek

    You're probably out trying to duplicate your picture taking prowess from yesterday but I wanted to post this map of the conjunction to help identify any of the Moons around Jupiter and Saturn, map courtesy of Stellarium:

    I'm waiting for a frontal passage and the skies will be poor for my time to view...

    F'cst from Pivotal Weather, I'm there within the yellow ellipse in PA:

    Waste of time tonight, total cloud. If it is a moon on mine its Europa, its in the right position.

    Think positive, it was a good waste of time.

    You were investing time in a hobby to learn something new about the planets and diversions like these can help clarify other moments in our lives.

    btw... I believe you're right about that moon being Europa, and I was clouded out.

    Update on the Wow! 2020 signal.

    Was this mystery radio signal really from Proxima Centauri? | Space | EarthSky

    Is trusting in the reference to a slight change in frequency indicating the possibility of a source being a planetary orbit.

    I hope that NASA arrange the next case of astronomical fever in the warmer months when the sky is clear!!!
