Venus and Moon rising over Brisbane, 14/8/12

Hi all,

Having read about this morning's conjunction several weeks ago, I scouted around for a suitable location and came up with a spot in Taringa overlooking the Brisbane CBD. So I set the alarm for 3am and got there in time to see Venus and the Moon clearing a low cloud band on the horizon. I then shot an image every 3.5 minutes from 3:30am until 4:30am to capture the pair rising over the city.

The first image is the stacked exposures, and the second is a single frame. Hope you like the result!

Cheers,
Stephen
