Inner City Conjunction and time lapse video

[syeung (Shinn)]

Hi All

I tried my hand at photographing the moon-4-planet conjunction form inner city Brisbane last night.
Nice clear night with a very bright backdrop (city skyline) but all four planets easily visible, including Mercury.
Also tried making a timelapse of the conjunction setting behind the city which was fun. (http://www.vimeo.com/14115211)

Enjoy.

Great images Shinn!!
The timelapse is excellent too - I could watch it over and over - shimmering on the river, the boats, the lights being turned off in hte higrises as people head home, and of course the planets.

I found it interesting to note how many lights in the buildings DON'T get turned off, even over a period of so many hours. The total amount of light remains the same.
