Conjunction of Moon, Uranus, Mars and Venus

[StephenM]

Hi all,

Here are a couple of shots taken from my backyard at about 5 am this morning, showing the Moon and 3 planets. It's interesting to see the difference in brightness, with Venus at about mag -4, Mars at about mag 1 and Uranus at mag 6. It should look even nicer tomorrow, with a thinner crescent Moon just below Venus. Worth getting up to have a look!

Cheers,
Stephen

Hi Stephen

A beautiful conjunction in a lovely setting – thanks for getting up to take those lovely photos, to show us dozy, sleepy heads what a delightful sight we missed!

Cheers
