Hi all,

Here's an image of the HST passing nearby the planetary triangle formed by Mars, Saturn and Venus at 7:06 pm today. The predicted mag for the HST was 1.2, but it was still at quite a low altitude when passing the planets so it was considerably fainter than this. I elected to use 1600 iso and my 70-300mm telephoto (@ 70mm) at f/4.0, and combined 3 x 4 sec exposures for this image. It's a bit grainy due to the high iso, but I captured the HST clearly enough.

Thanks for looking.

Cheers,
Stephen
