Five planet parade and the Solar System Sweep

The challenge of imaging all 5 bright planets, and getting something that resembled a reasonable view of them in a single sitting...

Venus, Mercury and Jupiter are quite low in the west (though Mercury is almost as high as it can get), while Mars and Saturn are overhead. All the images are at f/30 with a 200mm Newtonian, north up, the Sun is illuminating them from the right (to varying degrees), and all at the same image scale.

Sadly, clouds spoiled the wild plan of trying to add Neptune, Pluto (with DSLR), Qaoar/Eris (DSLR), Pallas/Ceres (DSLR) and Uranus. Anyone else up for the Solar System Sweep... one night, full collection of the range of planets, dwarf planets, asteroids and blocks of ice in space (KBOs) from innermost planet out to a KBO beyond Pluto?
