Hi all,
Driving home from the Perth Observatory on Friday evening I couldn't help myself go "wowowow!" when I drove around the corner of Mundaring Weir and saw the Moon and Jupiter rising over the water. The two of them were so crisp and dominant in the sky low on the horizon, and the reflection in the water perfect.
I was extremely late getting home so really didn't want to stop with a busy day on Saturday but just had to, so made a very rushed effort at photographing them.
The first image attached is a crop which quite accurately reflects the feel of what I saw, asside from the overexposed moon
I quite like this one for giving the wow impression of how big and close they felt.
The second image is the full crop to include Orion overhead, which was an extra bonus.
Both have been adjusted to show more accurately how it was, rather than to bring out the most detail or colour.
Regards,
Roger.
