Planets converging
Hi all,
Here's a quick image of the 4 evening planets this evening, taken from my local park in Brisbane. Mercury is at greatest elongation east tomorrow evening, and will then start returning towards the Sun. The other 3 planets will be within 5 degrees of each other from Sunday evening. And then of course the Moon will join ther scene on the 12th and 13th! So still lots more nice photo opportunities coming up...
This image was processed with the GIMP (in fact GIMP Portable) - first time I've played with it on my laptop. It seems to do most of the things that PS7 does, but not all.
Anyway, here's the image.
Cheers,
Stephen
