Never - lets see them

Nice one indeed. Venus does look great, instead of the rounded blobs I get.

Beautiful shot I saw it from Auckland last night, it looked awesome.

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

It was breathtakingly beautiful. Especially once the sky grew truly dark.
Thanks for posting the images Dave.

I think anywhere that had clear skies it would have looked awesome

One pointer for each state and territory that saw it LOL

I think it must be the blades of the iris in the lens

Well done Dave,

I saw the Moon and Venus as I was driving out of the city. Looked reakky nice in the great clear blus sky. By the time I got home the cloud drouned most of it out.
