3 planets, 1 minor planet, and the HST.

Hi all,

Clear skies again for tonight's Hubble pass between Mars and Saturn. This time I positioned the camera so that I also captured Minor Planet Vesta to the north of the 3 planets. This Hubble pass was predicted to be fainter than yesterday's, but it was actually brighter at this low altitude. Anyway, here's the image - I hope you like it!

Cheers,
Stephen

very interesting image Stephen. It takes a lot of effort to catch a fleeting moment like that - thanks for posting.

Thanks Ray. Yes, it's certainly not something you see every day.

Cheers,
Stephen
