Four planets over canefields, 23rd August 2010.

Hi all,

Here's another one from my trip to north Qld last week, showing Venus, Mars, Saturn and Mercury over the Burdekin canefields. Mercury has now moved too close to the sun, so this is my last image of the 4 evening planets together. I hope you like it!

Cheers,
Stephen

Thanks Stephen, an excellent record of this configuration. It's not all that often that so many of the planets can be imaged in the same FOV and I really like this effort. Reckon the tree in the foreground and subtle colours rising from the hills in the background create a very nice feel.

Cheers
