Saturn and Mars from Brisbane 11 July 08

[StephenM]

Hi all,

Here are some more shots of the conjunction taken tonight. A plane flew past during the second exposure. Some thin high cloud has been hanging around Brisbane all day (resulting in a nice sun halo which I'll post in the next thread), and it adds some interesting colours to these shots. Hope you like them.

Cheers,
Stephen

Nice images of the conjunction Stephen, I really like the first one with the large tree in the middle.

Well done. :thumbsup:

The first one is a ripper.. top job.

The cloud cover was mild for about 20 minutes a bit earlier... I got all excited, set up my mount/scope/laptop.. looked up. full coverage. :(

I wish it would make up its mind (preferably on the clear skies option)
