Moon-Mercury-Jupiter-Mars conjunction 23Feb09

Hi all,

Here's an image of this morning's conjunction taken from Brisbane. I decided to zoom in a bit (using the 70-300mm telephoto at 70mm) to try and capture some detail in the Earthshine. I hope you like the result.

There's also a shot of Comet Lulin approaching Saturn, taken about 20 minutes earlier using the same lens. It was a great way to start the week, with comet and conjunction!

Thanks for looking.

Cheers,
Stephen
