Got up this morning at 5am, watched the 3 planets rise and quickly setup my camera and tripod to take this shot. The photo does not convey how beautiful it truly is to see with your eyes, but still better than nothing

Hope you enjoy, cheers.

A very nice capture.

I agree with you, you can't descibe how truly beautiful it really is until you have witnessed it yourself.

BTW what camera did you use?

It makes you feel at one with our Solar System, almost a spiritual experience.
Thanks for sharing it with us.
