Conjunction of the Moon, Venus, Mars and Jupiter

Conjunction of the Moon, Venus, Mars and Jupiter - 24 Nov. 1995

On 24 November 1995 the 2¼ day old Moon joined Venus, Mars and Jupiter for a close conjunction. Here, shortly after sunset, only Venus is visible yet while Freddy sets the DIMM (Differential Image Motion Monitor) telescope on its first target to measure the night's seeing conditions.
