Hi all,

Just a quick shot of Venus and Jupiter at 4:30 this morning (Brisbane time). Taken with a Pentax K100D with telephoto set on about 105 mm, f/5.6, 6 sec exp at 400 asa.
Don't forget to have a look tomorrow morning!

Cheers,
Stephen

Nice catch.
Our waning crescent moon also joins the party a few mornings later.

Nice one- I took some images this morning too, because it's going to be cloudy for me on the 2nd :(

I'm so looking forward to this :)

It will be so exciting when the first Jupiter images appear on the Solar System imaging forum.
