Venus Occultation November 8, 2021

Venus Occultation 2021-11-08 I was worried about the weather, but the weather was better than I expected and I could watch it from the beginning to the end. Compared to the moon in the blue sky where there is no contrast, was Venus brighter and seeing was better in the scene where the moon edge appeared hidden?

Astronomical Observing Party Plateau Satomi

Helping with the astronomical viewing event at Plateau Satomi! The event resumed after the coronavirus infection died down. Mr. Okamura from Tsukuba gave a very good explanation. We watched Saturn, Jupiter, the Perseus Double Cluster, and Subaru with the 20cm refractor. The sky in the background was dark, but the stars shone brilliantly, so different from the outside world!
