The lot!

OK, I had a daft idea yesterday. It struck me that all planets, dwarf included, are huddled on this side of the sun and potentially visible at some point during the night.

So on Brisbane's coldest night of the year so far, I pulled an all-nighter

I did plan to do a nice wide field observatory shot for "Earth" but at 5am I was just too knackered so you're stuck with a selfie which is all I could manage!

Thanks guys, I'm still amazed I managed to get the lot - Just very lucky that everything happens to be momentarily on this side of the solar system!

Great work there Jonathan.
An all nighter is a rarity these days for me.

Wow that's very cool! Not sure about that Earth shot though - could have been taken anywhere.
