Moon Jupiter and Venus

[traveller]

About 12 photos of the conjunction of Moon, Jupiter and Venus taken on 21 June. XE-1 body with Nikon 85mm f1.8 lens (stepped down to f4). Exposures varied between 1/4 sec and 1/2 sec, all at ISO 400.
A quick stack and some very minor tweaking in PS.
Can see the crescent phase of Venus at 200% and well as two moons of Jupiter at 300%.
Comments welcome.

nice work there. i didn't get a shot of the conjunction but it was beautiful to watch the dance over those few days

It was good "dance" to see. Well caught Bo. :thumbsup:
With Venus you could shorten the exposure considerably and make the phase shadow more apparent. The bright disk has no detail to offer; a white blob is a white blob. Where as with Jupiter, you might be able to pick up the bands at a shorter exposure.

Thanks Robert and David,
I would love to have another go at this, but the only things dancing in the sky at the moment in Melbourne are clouds :mad2:
