Planet alignment

On Oct 27 the planets Venus and Saturn were close to the bright star Antares and on Oct 28 they were in line. Separation was about 3 degrees between each.
I took a photo of the alignment on each date at the same time (8.50 pm). Camera on tripod with 50 mm lens on Canon 550d camera 10 sec x 400 iso f5.6. The first pic I have labelled A = Antares, V = Venus, S = Saturn. The second pic I have left unlabelled. Thanks for viewing. Cheers, John W.
