Not all of them but those I got did line up nicely for me in 1988; Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn framed between the Sun and the Moon. I called it Syzygy and got a highly commended in the bicentennial competition on display in Coonabarabran in 1988/89.

All taken with film (mostly Kodak TP-2415) with 6" f5.5 using eyepiece projection. Darkroom work was countless hours of aligning, dodging and burning racing to beat the submission deadline. Each print is unique and it took me five attempts to get it right. The attached image is in fact my second best as I sent in my first and unfortunately never did get it back.

Enjoy!
