What a beautiful conjunction!

[iceman]

Did anyone else get out to see the conjunction this morning?

It was just a beautiful morning.. of course I have heaps of shots to go through! I'm pleased - they looked nice on the back of the camera.

Will post some later today.

Look forward to seeing everyone else's shots.

A lovely binocular view but just as nice naked eye.

It's now completely cloudy, so I feel very lucky to have had clear skies and a beautiful dawn sky to observe it.

:zzz2: and missed it. It was cloudy and smoky to the East, however.

Unfortunately skies out my way were cloudy. Funny thing is I got up at 4AM to check the skies and out my back porch (SE) could see Scorpius as clear as anything, got back for a snooze, up at 5:30AM and as the title suggests, all clouded over :(...oh well, better luck next time.
Perhaps it was the jinx of having received my new refractor on Friday ;)

I stayed up late, too hazy. Got up 4:00am, still too hazy. That's how I now feel.

Yes Mike, a lovely sight in the east off Coffs harbour.
Another question befalls me though! On satellite watching of an evening while partaking a lovely vintage red in the spa!!!! I see what seems to be flashes high in the cosmos (no, not too many wines). Do the satellites take our photos? is it aliens watching us? any ideas????

missed it - though there was a heap of cloud as the sun rose - the sun looked nice though

[StephenM]

Yep, it was a great sight! I got up at 4am and had a nice look at Comet Lulin through the scope, took a few comet images, and then took a few images of the planets and Moon rising.
Definately worth getting up for! I haven't had a chance to download the images yet, but hopefully will this evening.

Cheers,
Stephen

I got up at 4:30am this morning and in Sydney - forget it - we were blanketed out with cloud. Rather disappointed as I have had this one penciled in for some time.

Instead I got questioned by the police who were cruising around the area.

All three will be up again tonight with the moon a bit further below them I think. Let's hope it is a clear morning tomorrow....at least the police will recognise me second time around.

I mentioned it to all the workers on monday morning and they all had to see and comment and i got asked about the stars and they were surprised to hear me say they were all planets......cheers Kev.
