Venus, Spica, Mercury and Mars this evening

[StephenM]

Hi All,

I had time to take a few more shots of the planets after sunset this evening, from the local park in suburban Brisbane. The first is centered on Venus, Spica, Mercury and Mars, while the second is wider-angle and includes the Southern Cross and pointers. In the last shot my wife is shining a torch at the camera, just below the setting planets. Mercury is getting noticably lower each night now, so if you haven't seen this grouping then have a look over the next few nights!

Cheers,
Stephen

Nice captures Stephen, well done. :)

There is not long before these conjunctions disappear, so now is the time to have a look.

Thanks for sharing. :thumbsup:
