Moon, Jupiter, Venus and M45, 25 March 2012

Hi all,

Surprisingly, we had nice clear skies for tonight's conjunction of the Moon and planets, so I headed over to the Brisbane River at Jindalee to get a few images. I'd chosen this location for evening conjunctions several months ago, but this was the first time I have tried it out. Anyway, here are the results. The last one shows the Pleiades to the north of the Moon and planets.

Thanks for looking!

Cheers,
Stephen

Really nice images Stephen but I especially like the framing of the first one. Your wide field efforts are always well so well thought out and composed.

Regards
Trevor

Thanks for the comments guys! I was busy tonight, and will be again tomorrow night, so I was glad that the skies were clear yesterday.

Cheers,
Stephen
