April 3 - Venus and Pleiades

[Liz]

Took a few more images tonight,and Venus was actually closer to the star cluster than last night ... beautiful.

Drove down the road to a section of the beach, walked through sand ,over a fence (little) and attacked by sandflies .. .geeze.

Images taken with 450 on tripod.

Nice set, I like the first one, it does look like another member of the cluster, much brighter of course.

[Liz]

Thankyou all!! Havent done much AP of late, so nice to be under the stars again, even with a mozzie or 2.

Thanks Andrew .. .I wasnt sure about the beach ones, and did take quite a few.

All single images taken on tripod with 450D.

Hope your dance works Luis, your images have been great.

Nicely captured Liz! I was busy last night (trying to learn Polish), but will hopefully get a chance to capture the conjunction this evening.

Cheers,
Stephen

Thanks Stephen, and good luck tonight .... Oh, Polish sounds a difficult language.

Some really great shots!

Wish I had such motivation.....

[Liz]

Thank you Deeno and David, such fun to get out there and take the images.

Great pics Liz.

My favourites are the 3rd pic from the first 4 and the 1st one from the second 2.
However they are all good pictures.
