Hi Guys, I to have a conjunction image from May 2011, I know it was a while ago but thought it may stand a chance.

This was taken in Burnie, Tasmania, one night as I walked past the Metro Cinema there. A full moon behind light clouds to the right, Jupiter to the left, and the star provided by the cinema.
No tripod, just a conveniently placed garden retaining wall.

[firstlight (Tony)]

Also captured Jupiter, Venus and the Moon tonight. Thought that some shots over a local Russian Orthodox church might look nice. Clouds were a bit of a pain, but added some nice colour.
