A Christmas Star

On the Dec 21st you might get to see one.

I get quite excited about stuff like this, and being the first time in a long(lol) time I'm hoping for clear skies!

At least you have managed to see them

A noble effort with the camera at your disposal

I'm waiting for a photo from @viridis

Regarding spaceX, the rocket performed amazingly above what they wanted to do with it, a rocket ... Able to hover for a good few minutes AFTER engine failure, then come down in a horizontal config, then swing up for landing burn on 1 failing engine .. wow. Worth also noting that with mars gravity.. it probably would've landed on point.

Second the planets being close... Just wait to see how close the look tomorrow.. and how bright!
What I'd give for a better lens

Just remembered... I've got a telescope and camera attachment

Best I could get on my old lens, will set up the telescope for tomorrow.

I was actually able to see it tonight but my hands shake far too much to get a decent photo.

Thank you @viridis 

I have a thing about planets and stars
