Thanks guys, your feedback means a lot to me because I wasn't really happy with these when I first looked at them.
I almost threw them all away.
I guess I was just disappointed at not getting the whole conjunction and missing the favourable dawn light.

Thanks Terry - the first is my favourite too.
On Avoca Beach, there's a big-arse sodium flood light that shines out onto the beach. I was further to the South so it wasn't overwhelming, but provided just enough illumination on long exposure shots.
The attached image shows a shot from an
Avoca Beach series I took in early 2009 where the flood light was casting long shadows - horrible place to try and do dawn photography.
It provided some nice lighting on Sunday though.
The dawn shots I got on Sunday when the sun rose, on the other hand, I *am* very happy with. Some of my facebook friends will have seen one of them already.
Hope to post those tomorrow.
