'Morning Glory!'

Hi folks

We were down at the south coast of NSW (Broulee) last weekend, staying in a house with a great view of sky and sea. We got up at 0530 to have a look at the show in the eastern sky and were not disappointed.

The pic is a 30" exposure, so the 4 planets are quite blown out, and the sky quite bright - it was quite dark, actually! There was a moon if I recall correctly. Photographically, not a particularly great shot, but the interesting feature is the illumination of the sea by the light of Venus.

Anyway, it's not something you see very often.

Cheers
John

Thanks folks ... it's a wonder I got anything at that hour. I'm not a morning person, but 'no gain without pain'!

Cheers
John
