Planet Reflections

Hi,

A couple of weeks ago I visited Broome and was fortunate to get a few clear(ish) nights for the conjunction of Venus, Jupiter and Mercury. This shot is from the 28th May, with Jupiter at left, Venus middle, Mercury right @ 200 mm. Accompanying Jupiter are 3 of its moons (haven't checked which ones yet).

The view is from Cable Beach. The beach is quite flat and at low tide the sand stays wet for a good few hours, so great for reflections.

Thanks for looking

Colin

And you can discern some of Jupiter's moons: Noice!
