Here's my attempt from Sunday morning.
Unfortunately although it was clear overhead and to the west, a horrible cloud bank hovered in the East.
I did get a view of the Moon, Venus and Mercury, but never got to see Jupiter or Mars. And when the nice dawn light came, so did more clouds, which ruined any chance of getting nice images.
The only ones I were able to capture were when it was dark, which meant long exposures @ ISO3200, and noisy images. Also, the sea was very high and very rough so I couldn't get around on the rocks at Avoca - so I captured most of them from the sand, and my tripod slipped during the exposures. So a lot of my images have little trails.
All in all, not a great outing.

Anyway, here they are. Will try again during the month and at the end of May.
