Last night I set out to capture a lunar conjunction of the Pleiades and Mercury. My destination was Ogden Point which I knew had a westerly view. The clouds following me on the last few outings were there of course. Being the optimistic astronomer I waited for the beautiful Crescent Moon we've been observing. It appeared through cloud at first and eventually in a clear sky. The Pleiades and Mercury I saw only through cloud but I did see them. It was probably not the best spot given the urban setting. At the end of the imaging session I ended up with a conjunction of a more "urban" nature.
