Twilight conjunction through clouds in the far south

Cloud almost spoiled the Moon, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter close conjunction this evening. After a patient wait I was able to capture just one image showing all four of them just before Jupiter set behind the hills above Margate. The image is just out of focus unfortunately and it could have been a longer exposure. Mercury is just visible .
There were some fabulous views of the strong Earth shine illuminating the Moon as the various cloud layers moved through.

Cheers

Steve.
