Yes Vin, a very beautiful sight I had a look Saturday as well and got this photo at 18:14 from somewhere west of Mackay. The cloud has returned today so I'm glad I made the effort yesterday:) Pollux is the star at the bottom of the tree.

I've been priviledged in being able to see it for the last 3 nights and so far today looks good as well. Took a photo but Mercury & Saturn are only about 1 pixel wide (in an 8mp image) so it's not as I would have liked. I suspect that the old Kodak with less resolution may have done a better job.

I saw them while driving off to my aunt's place back here in Malaysia. Currently back home for some family matters. If the skies are clear tonight (not looking good at the moment), I will use the 15x70's.
