Stellar photo through a telescope.

The three planets visible "together" without a telescope, a few nights ago, a rare occurrence , which included Jupiter and Saturn and Mars.

Snow falling at night. I zoomed in and saw the outlines of a bare tree. Some of the dots are eclipsing the tree branch which would indicate they are in front of the branch.

I am a fan of the way you analyze things, Chuck. You've been blessed with quite a good mind.

Thanks. Let's see if it's right.

A lot of training in "image analysis" helps. I once had a two week course actually entitled "Interdisciplinary Image Analysis". Several college level classes on photo interpretation/analysis which drill in the basic 7 parameters (size, shape, shadow, tone, texture, pattern, association). Having a partial eidetic memory doesn't hurt either. :wink:

Correct. The camera was not able to focus on the falling snow, which explains the out of focus balls illuminated by the on camera flash.

With something to focus on, snow in the vicinity of the truck divulge their shape, clumped together snow flakes.
