Venus-Moon conjunction over Brisbane River, 17 Sep 09

[StephenM]

Hi all,

I saw there was a nice conjunction of Venus and the Moon low on the eastern horizon before sunrise this morning, and the forecast was good, so I set the alarm for 4:20 and drove to the bank of the Brisbane River.

I wasn't disappointed! - the view was very nice. Here are 3 images, taken between 4:45 and 5:00 am Brisbane time. Definately worth getting up for :).

Thanks for looking! (Did anyone else catch the view this morning?)

Cheers,
Stephen

Thanks very much Mitchell, David, Nicholas and Mike!

I'm looking forward to seeing what you captured, Mike.

Cheers,
Stephen

Lovely work again Stephen,

I think I prefer the wider field image of the three, very nice composition.

Thanks for the comments Trevor and Paul!





Interesting to hear different people's favourites - my initial view was that number 1 was best!

Cheers,
