The topic this month is: "Planetary Nightscape."

This thread is only for posting your entry and any comments you'd like to make about your own photo.

As usual, one entry per person and the image must be your own work.
Normal forum rules and image size applies.

The image doesn't necessarily have to have been taken this month but we do encourage you to go out and enjoy the challenge.
The winner of the poll, which will be run at the end of the month, will get to choose next month's topic and have their

Hi Guys, I to have a conjunction image from May 2011, I know it was a while ago but thought it may stand a chance.
Jupiter, Venus, Mercury and Mars from a place near Carnarvon WA

This was taken in Burnie, Tasmania, one night as I walked past the Metro Cinema there. A full moon behind light clouds to the right, Jupiter to the left, and the star provided by the cinema.
No tripod, just a conveniently placed garden retaining wall.

Also captured Jupiter, Venus and the Moon tonight. Thought that some shots over a local Russian Orthodox church might look nice. Clouds were a bit of a pain, but added some nice colour.
