Silly Oregon Christmas Star by jgpittenger

Silly Oregon Christmas Star

I can't begin to tell you how disappointed I am that we have heavy cloud cover and rain for viewing the planets conjoin and create the "Christmas Star". So I had to make my own. I took a picture of our bathroom light superimposed on its reflection and with Christmas lights visible through the window and combined it with a night shot from where I was hoping to shoot tonight if weather had permitted.
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs
Hahaha, I love this so much! I have worn out the carpet in our house, checking every five minutes to see if the clouds have lifted. Such a bummer. I've been doing star trails to compensate (our skies have been clearing around midnight), but wish I would have thought of bathroom lights...much warmer!

Great shot of the milky way and cool edit using what you did.

We had the great conditions - just no knowledge (or lens) to do it justice here. Was amazing to see though. Got a kick out of the creation you came up with!

Such a great idea and beautiful image. I can understand your disappointment and do feel sorry for you. I was looking so forward to see your shot today.

Ha! You had fun with this! It was crystal clear here and we got a great view of Jupiter and Saturn.

We had clear skies and watched it for about an hour. Took some photos but haven’t looked at them yet. Your version is probably better than what I captured.

Wonderful! We had high clouds as well.

Nice idea. We had cloud too so I didn't get to see the "star".

We had clear skies and I enjoyed watching the conjunction but was not happy with any of my pics... oh well.
