Crescent Moon and Venus over Manhattan – December 13th
With my Argentina eclipse adventure having come to an unfortunate end (you can read the full story here), on the bright side, below are a few pics from the morning of December 13th, just one day before the eclipse in Chile and Argentina.
I woke up at 4 a.m. without any hopes for clear skies and was able to capture an extremely thin crescent Moon and Venus over Manhattan after 5:30 – 6 a.m.

Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn – December 21st
Despite overcast skies, I was able to capture the great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn at their closest point, from North Bergen, New Jersey. I’m not sure if the view was a “Christmas Star 2020”, but what did you expect? These aren’t Arizona or Atacama Desert clear skies.
