May 4th conjunction - Blue Mountains

May the fourth be with me indeed

The weekend was a no-go for photographing the conjunction, with clouds in the sky and fever in my body, so I wasn't going to be stirring in the early morning to even see if it were visible.

This morning I happened to wake up early, and when I looked out the window I saw Venus shining brightly. Grabbed camera and tripod, then remembered the conjunction. I was very happy that I managed to get some photos I was happy with. 8)

Camera: Panasonic Lumix G10
f/5.2 manual exposure, 2.5", 33mm, ISO 200
Aaaand ... I forget my tripod's brand/model right now.

Here's a link to the large pic (3.6 MB)

I've just realised my camera was an hour fast ... this was taken at 5:45, despite the exif telling me it was 6:45
