This morning was lovely and clear.It was great to see this beautiful conjunction,of four naked eye planets and the thin moon.

Here are a couple of images looking over the Blackbutt Range.

Thanks for looking-Cheers,Chris

Thanks Stephen,I too was particularly pleased with the second image-just got the moon as it cleared the tree.Did not think it would turn out as well as it did.

Cheers C

Great photo's Chris, it seems you have had better conditions for viewing
than we have had in cloudy NSW. I really like the second shot, great
work, well done.:thumbsup: We have been considering moving to the
Beerwah/Landsborough area and are traveling up there soon to look
around, hopefully we will have clear nights during our visit.

Thanks Wayne and Liz,yes-its certainly great to see a large amount of images of this amazing event,here is the image just before the moon cleared the trees,I have done a couple of crops of the same image-I hope these may be of interest-not quite as dramatic fore ground as many others.But the skies were clear!!!
