Photos of the Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Mars Conjunction

[Octane (Humayun)]

Mike,

They are so beautiful. The first image is just absolutely stunning.

I was hoping to get up early this morning and head out to Lake George to take photos of the Moon rise as well as the other planets, but, having gone to bed at around 3 AM, it kind of made it a bit difficult to wake up at 4:45 AM and head out for a half-an-hour drive + set up time + capture and then the drive back.

Once again, beautiful images!

Regards,
Humayun

Hi Mike

Those are some of the most beautiful and evocative conjunction photos I have even seen. You have a real talent for this genre – thanks for sharing.

Cheers

Magnificent beauty. I also rose early to view this spectacle at Nobby's Beach. Great to see it captured. Thanks

Thanks very much to everyone for their inspiring comments. It really makes me want to get out there and do it all again next time.

Unfortunately I was clouded out for Wednesday mornings triple conjunction, but there's still another chance on April 23rd.

Thanks again.

Fantastic pics Mike and thanks for showing. Just love the ones with the reflections in the lake's edge.
