The evening highlight of six days back country skiing in NSW was the planetary alignment in the evening sky. I had only a compact Canon G1X Mark II with me and it took a few nights to get the weather and scenery to cooperate but after an hour of traipsing around and lying down in the snow and wind I managed to capture this shot on our last night out.
From bottom Venus, Mercury, Jupiter. Canon Powershot G1X Mark II, Panorama 2 x 10 secs, f3.5, ISO400. Image captured from near the Schlink 'Hilton' Hut in the NSW alpine region, looking over the distant Grey Mare Range.
