Conjunction from Gove NT

[gaa_ian]

Planned to get up for the conjunction & actually did this morning !
As much as my limited camera equipment will allow, I managed to get a reasonable shot of the event as the sky started to brighten.
Caught a passing ship in the bottom of the frame too !

Nice capture, Ian :thumbsup:

Thanks Laurie, I just uploaded a bit better save of the image. Every time I do this I know I need a better camera. How do you go with your 1100D ? Do you do much nightscape work with it ?

Haven't even used it yet, Ian-unfortunately!

Nice work Ian! I was hoping to get out and catch it but had to work :(

Thanks Mike, its a noisy image, but satisfying to capture.
However I have a solution with a loan of my partners 350D until I am ready to part with the cash for a 60D.
Still need to get a good lens to go with it though !
