Ok. Advice.
Tripod. Wide to Normal lens. Several exposures about 30 minutes
apart. Manual focus at infinity. You're shooting digital so
experiment a bit with exposure, but keep the lens wide open. (Aperture
priority) Take about 2-3 hours worth. Show us what you get...
Here in Seattle, for the next week, if it's clear, the sky will stay
dark for a long time, the sun setting at 4:17 PM and not rising until
7:52 AM. Give or take a few minutes. So though the night is long,
the individual stars and planets actually spend less time being
visible above the horizon as they traverse from east to west.

Could be. May be. I've never ever seen Venus so BIG and so BRIGHT
before,
though. Wonder why it is now?
Still going to try to get a better pic. (Help, anyone have advice
about
that?)
Later, Marnie :-)

Hi Marnie
I wonder if these objects are Venus and Jupiter. They are
reasonably
close together at present and can be very bright.
Jupiter sets first leaving Venus, the brighter one, alone and very
low
on the horizon, much like your second image.
Not an expert on these things, though.......
Cheers
