Hi all,

Just a quick shot of Venus and Jupiter at 4:30 this morning (Brisbane time). Taken with a Pentax K100D with telephoto set on about 105 mm, f/5.6, 6 sec exp at 400 asa.
Don't forget to have a look tomorrow morning!

Cheers,
Stephen

Awesome!

I'm hoping the morning sky will be clear tomorrow and the on the 2nd

Very nice pic

And great to see 'The Return of The King'!

Can't wait to start imaging Jupiter again.

Nice catch.
Our waning crescent moon also joins the party a few mornings later.

Nice one- I took some images this morning too, because it's going to be cloudy for me on the 2nd

I'm so looking forward to this

It will be so exciting when the first Jupiter images appear on the Solar System imaging forum.

Saw them this morning, they were only 57' apart. Here is a pic.

Rain and cloud this morning

Same for tomorrow... and the next 5 days

Glad I got out there yesterday!
