Well,certainly a good time for astronomers this month,finally some cloud free days,to observe Saturn,Mars and the lovely conjunction in the western sky of Venus and M45.Here is my image of the event.Not quite to the standard of StephenM's images,but was pleased with the capture-and its made it to channel nine weather presentations around the country.(they call it a "Visual treat"The second image is through a Vixen ED 81 mm scope when the objects were the thickness of a finger above horizon.

Thanks for looking-cheers Chris
