Night Sky Photography -- 11-19-2023 -- Jupiter, Uranus, & The Pleiades Rising In The East

This afternoon, I took an outstanding photo about 40 minutes before sunset of the First Quarter Moon in the late afternoon skies between the branches of the now leafless tree in my backyard.

Later the same evening I captured two more shots. The first was the large superior planet, Saturn, near the Moon overhead between the tree and the side of my house. The second being a much more breathtaking shot of the planets Jupiter and distant Uranus (just barely visible) along with the bright stars of the Pleiades Star Cluster (Seven Sisters) just above the treetops rising in the east.

Uranus will remain between the "Seven Sisters" and Jupiter for pretty much the remainder of the year, so spotting it with a pair of good binoculars, or a telescope should not be hard for those of us living in North America and with reasonably good night sky conditions.
