G'day everyone,

I snaped these two images today while the sun was still up quite high.
First is Venus and the Moon and the second is Jupiter.
I couldn't fit all in same FOV.
I used the Canon 300D prime focused through the Orion 80ED.
Had the camera set to v.quick exp, I think 4000th sec @ 1600 ISO but have to check on that.
Was rapped that I could see the two planets during daytime. :cool:

Hi Rocket. Good shots! I was out the other day collimating a set of binos & suddenly got it in my head to find venus & jupiter in broad daylight like I used to do when I was a kid. I took some quick-pics threw the binos after I found them.
