Moon-Saturn-Regulus       #2391340 - 05/13/08 12:30 AM Attachment (24 downloads) Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I was able to view the conjunction of the Waxing Gibbous Moon (8.3 days old), Saturn (3.9 degrees from the Moon), and Regulus (4.4 degrees from the Moon). Saturn and Regulus were approximately two degrees apart. Haze surrounding the Moon provided a faint glow. I hope that you like it. A digital rendering produced in Photoshop CS3.
