If they are looking for a good visual spot or to try for a wide field photo then any high point around Birmingham with a SW view should work for a look.

 I've shot many very nice sunsets at several locations including Vulcan Park, the ridge around Tip Top Grill, and several other spots along Red Mountain. I imaged comet neowise just off Deer Foot on Husky Parkway in Trussville. There is a nice open field with a SW view just before the high school.

As of right now I plan to be up at CMO this evening if anyone would like to join me. There are much better locations but the field has power and it's easy to setup before sunset.

Danny I have reached out to our group for help. Also check us out on Facebook.

Folks can you help Danny out here. I don’t live in Birmingham and not sure where a good place would be to see the conjunction.

Hello Sir.

 

My family and I live in Birmingham area, we would like to know where can we go to see the Jupiter Saturn conjunction. We don't mine to drive 1 hour or even more if necessary.

 

Thank you very much for your advice
