Evening and morning planets

*Hadnt seen the morning planets for awhile, and surprised at how low Venus was, compared to last month, with Mars above and to the left.
Betelgeuse does look bright too (re another post on IIS).
*We had another public night on beach in town, had about 60 or so rock up. Moon very bright, with Jupiter rising like a beacon over Magnetic Island.
*Nice to see a bright Mercury back in our evening skies, with Saturn above. Mercury was showing a pretty full disc, and Saturn's rings - very thin indeed.
*Last pic was before work a couple of days ago, with Moon and Jupiter setting in the west.
