Saturday dawn conjunction
Hi all,

Here's Venus and the Moon rising over Brisbane at dawn this morning, as viewed from Mt Coot-tha.

For this image I took an exposure every 3 and a half minutes, beginning at 3:35am (4 sec, 15-85mm lens at 56mm, f/5.6, 400 iso). It was worth the early start I think .

Thanks for looking!

Cheers,
Stephen
