Jupiter-Venus conjunction, 2 Feb 08

Hope these shots look OK - no editing other than resize coz I've only got my laptop & it shows very differently to my desktop . Will check these out when I get home. Canon 400D, shots at 18 to 200mm. Taken from Bendigo, Vic.

Brilliant visually, and JUST missed the re-appearance of Antares from the Moon's dark limb after occultation. Busy morning, astronomically speaking!!

Cheers -

Great shots Rob

I really like the second one.

I was only able to get one image due to cloud. It's great that you've got at least 3!
