Last night, 9/15/2021, the first bright object to the left of the moon was Saturn, then the brightest object further to the left was Jupiter. Tonight, 09/16/2021 the moon will be closer to Saturn and below it, and the following night the same for Jupiter.


Due to the haze and light pollution only these two were bright enough to see, so that leaves Jupiter since it is far brighter than Saturn.

If the weather cooperates tonight, try to capture the moon, Jupiter and Saturn in you frame. What was your focal length on the first shot? A shot of all 3 would be interesting as well.


I backed my 150-600 off to 483 to get both in the frame at once.

I will look again tonight but the haze was even worse last night. The weather is cooling (mid 80's instead of mid to high 90's) so maybe the haze will be less tonight and more will be visible.

Interesting shot Robert.
I hope you remembered to put the 'trash' out !


I did, but I think some evil elves are manufacturing more as the cans seem to always fill up again.

I haven't done any moon shots since 2014 when I went through a period of being obsessed to get a good one. Back then with the Tamron 150-600 1st generation on a Canon 6D I managed to get one good enough the local camera store kept a print to show people looking to buy the lens.

Well last night I stepped out the door to dump a trashcan and there straight south was the moon and a bit east of it was a single bright "Star???". There was some haze and we have a lot of light pollution around here (South East end of the Los Angeles Metro Area) so when I looked around the only things showing in the sky were the moon, this one bright dot, one airliner and a helicopter going past.

As I went back in to put the trash can next to my desk I had to step around my 80D + Tamron 150-600 G2 so on a whim I rolled my office chair over and using the rear screen I adjusted my settings and did some frames of the moon, a few with the "star" showing.

Nice picture. If it is a star, you will see the light flicker. The planet will stay a constant brightness because it is reflecting light from a star.

OK, several people on two different sites and this sky chart indicate it would have been Jupiter. I Saturn had been bright enough to show then there would have been two bright spots to the left of the moon, there was only one and Jupiter is by far the brighter of the two so Jupiter seems to be it.

Due to the haze and light pollution only two objects other than two aircraft were bright enough to see. The Moon and the bright object to the East of it and if Saturn was bright enough to see then Jupiter would have been to the East of it for a total of three objects.

I set this site to 20:37PM on 9-14-21 (the day and time I took that shot) but while I typed the timer moved on 2 more minutes.

Saturn is much dimmer than Jupiter, so the haze could have been masking it. Go out tonight and see what you get.
