View Full Version here: : 5 Celestial bodies.
Went down the beach to photograph the planets on a beautiful North Queensland morning.
Alas, the planets are drifting apart, and Mercury will soon will be lost below the horizon.
Venus was blazing red when it rose, and at first thought it was a plane!! Temperature was a ..... fresh 14 dg. ;)

I can't believe you get that view every morning!
Jealous much!
Last one is great!
Thankyou Warren and Mike. :)
You guys do so well, packing up your gear and heading off to a spot to take pics, while I just head out in my jamies. :D

I love the last 2 Liz! We had 100% cloud and rain earlier this morning. I'm hoping it will be clear tomorrow...
Cheers,
Stephen

LOL Yeah, it hurt my eyes so much, I thought I'd share the joy.
Oh, I see it, just a wee m31. I wonder if it's possible to make out M33 as well?
