Took these shots last Tuesday morning, while watching the Venus/Uranus conjunction at Terrigal.

They didn't turn out as nice as I would've hoped.. the shots when it was still dark required a high ISO (800) and a long exposure to bring up any foreground (as well as processing levels in photoshop).

The shots just before sunrise were too overexposed just at the horizon, because I didn't use my ND grad filter to block out the light coming in the top half of the lens.

Ah well, learning experience.

In the first 4 shots, Mercury also makes an appearance as the brightest "star" close to the horizon (slightly to the right of Venus).

Comments welcome.
