Venus-Jupiter-Moon Conjunction 5th Feb

[gaa_ian (Ian)]

I just couldn't help myself !
OMG ..... I might be getting the AstroPhotography bug !
Anyhow here are a few shots from this morning, this time at 100iso setting.
A bit better than 400 iso on my Canon S2-IS I think.
The first a close up the second obviously a wide field.

Thanks heaps for posting some views of the event!

I'm looking forward to this one. A "smiley face", albeit, a bit long!. Attached is for Melbourne, 10pm 1st Dec 2008.

Thanks Rob and Eric
Its not often that I come up with a Photo I think is worthy of posting.
I keep being surprised by what my little camera will do !
