Hi David

Saturn is much lower than Venus right now, and had set by the time I took the photos. Not sure where Mars is, but it is not on top of Venus. Venus is a very bright planet and the 10 second exposures, even with the 135m lens stopped down to f8, makes Venus quite overwhelmingly bright in an image.

Let’s keep our fingers crossed for clear skies tonight when Venus should be visible in the middle of M44.

Cheers

Dennis
