Thanks for showing these. I was so looking forward to this only to encounter 100% cloud cover.

Thanks for posting Houghy. Nice images. I managed to see the Moon through high cloud but Mercury and Regulus were obscured.

Wow, silky smooth sunset shots and lovely conjunction Houghy.
Well done.
I was admiring the "sort of" "smiley face" conjunction last night.

Nice scenes ther houghy, liking the one with sun just below horizon, simple scene but great atmosphere & color !
I caught a couple shots myself, with a small 'burn-off' happening sending two distant smokey billows close to each other into the left of the wideview scene, ,
