Thanks everyone, I appreciate your comments.

Whenever I submit an image for APOD, you always want it to be chosen and published, but never expect it. It's always a thrill, and very exciting, to receive an email reply after so many times of receiving no reply :)

Interestingly, my first 2 APOD's were hi-res images of Jupiter, but my last 3 have been of conjunctions with nothing more than an entry level DSLR, a cheap Sigma lens and a tripod.

I guess i've been lucky to have captured these beautiful events with the sky putting on a special show.


Thanks Dennis - this quote means the most to me as I do try and plan these shots out for days, and sometimes weeks before hand. It's really nice when the effort is recognised. It makes it all worthwhile.

Thanks again.
