Hi all
This image of the 4 inner rocky planets (Venus, Mercury, Mars and Earth) was captured on Saturday night, at Long Jetty on the Central Coast of NSW.
Venus, Mercury and Mars made a nice conjunction with the star Spica, forming a lovely triangle in the twilight sky. My daughter Eliza was the model on the jetty.
It was a lovely warm day but very windy. The photo was taken with my Canon 350D and Sigma 17-70mm lens, f/7.1, ISO100, 1.6s exposure.
Processing including selective enhancement of the planets, and saturation boost.

Thanks for looking.
