A few days ago we saw Saturn near the moon shortly after moonrise. Since then it’s moved a little ways from the moon. Or more precisely the moon has moved a ways relative to Saturn, since it is moving faster in relation to the earth’s rotation). In any case, I was able to get a pretty good shot of it with my long lens zoomed out to 600mm. This was taken at ISO 3200 at f/7.1 for 1/100 second. It isn’t going to win any awards for photos of planets but it’s at least good enough that you can be sure which planet it is.

Sunset Over The Sisters
I wouldn’t normally post two sunset photos in a row, especially when they’re so similar, but I couldn’t resist posting this one. We went up onto Pilot Butte again in the evening (along with quite a few others and we were very lucky to find a parking spot). This is a three-shot panorama, taken with my 100mm lens, looking to the west over Broken Top on the left and then South, Middle, and North Sisters.
