Venus and Jupiter, part deux

As promised in yesterday’s BA blog entry, here is another shot of Venus and Jupiter tonight.

Unfortunately, the pictures are slightly different exposures (click on the images to get bigger versions). I cropped the images to get them framed roughly the same. I also took some care to get Jupiter in roughly the same spot as it was last night, and you can see that Venus has moved up and to the left in the past 24 hours! They’re preparing for the main event Thursday night. Stay tuned!
