Moon, Venus and Mars over Brisbane River, 23Apr09
Hi all,
I got up at 4:15 this morning for the conjunction, and there was not a cloud in the sky. So I jumped in the car and drove to the Walter Taylor Bridge over the Brisbane River to get some photos. When I arrived there at about 4:40 it was completely cloudy, but I sat around for 40 minutes in the hope that the cloud would clear, and just as the dawn light started to brighten the Moon and planets popped into view!
I haven't had a chance to make any adjustments to these images yet, they are straight out of the camera. It was a beautiful conjunction and these images don't really do it justice, but at least I captured something.
Thanks for looking.
Cheers,
Stephen
