Venus/Saturn/Mars Conjunction 3-8-10

Hi Folks

Just had time to roll the roof of the observatory and get set up for a couple

of Western Sky photos after the sun had set.

The first photo 138 sec at 400 iso F 7.1 the second (wider field) 96 sec,same settings

Using a 50D with 17-55 F 2.8 lens piggy back on vixen scope on GP mount ss2k

Polar aligned set in observatory (note did not have time to do three star align)

Hope these are of interest,It looked great with eyes and binos.

Bonus looks like 'corvus the crow' in wide field

cheers Chris
