Venus - Mercury - Beehive (M44) conjunction

Hi

Managed to grab and stack two x 10 sec images tonight (3rd June), of Venus, Mercury & M44, from our study window which looks out to the West.

Images taken with a Pentax istDS, 135mm Takumar lens at f8, 200ASA, 10 secs, manual focus (lens is a manual lens, approx 15 years old).

Horrible light pollution as I am shooting straight into the Brisbane light dome and a street light just outside the window. It looks like Venus will be smack in the middle of the Beehive tomorrow, 4th June, so grab a shot or two if you can.

Cheers

Dennis
