Whoa! What a morning!! 14/01/05

Setup late arvo, messed around till about 11pm - Saturn hides behind next doors HUGE gum tree and Jupiter was still too low. Came back out around 2ish after Saturn had appeared on the other side of the gum tree + Jupiter more favourable hieght, ended up with these by sun rise.

First off the rank is Saturn. No processing except align and stack, taken around 2-3am sometime...

Is that a hint of the GRS in the upper band on the left? Hope not, I spent about 1.5 hours takin an over exposed image every 5mins trying to record some piddly moons revolving around the planet when I could been concentrating on the GRS transiting!!!

Then we have Venus, with a bit of phase, aligned, stacked and brightness and contrast adjusted slightly to kill the glare....

Taken at dawn, around 5ish I'd say

And lastly Mercury, same as details as Venus.....
