Mecury, Venus, Saturn and Mars!

Planetary speaking, last night was a busy one!

Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Mars all in a near line, and up above and a bit eastwards .............. Jupiter!

Here are two of my efforts. The widefield has all four first mentioned planets but Mars is quite faint near the top.

The closeup of Saturn and Venus was through the scope with the 13mm lens. Only a light crop, and no other editing.

Both pics taken with the Olympus 410 compact, handheld for the closeup and tripod for the widefield.
