Saturn-Venus-Mercury conjunction - post 'em here
I know I'm jumping the gun a bit but its forecast lousy weather here for Sunday, so I took the opportunity and rattled off a few shots of the soon to be conjunction.

I havent got great hopes that the weather will co-operate for us here in adders - the evening and west are not very often good here - there is always some sort of cloud low over the gulf even on nice days
heres some pics of the weather starting to come in today - first blood to the 350d

Thought I'd get in before Sunday too while the clouds are away. Knowing this place Sunday will be cloudy.

Nice shot Kevin. I think I'll try a wider shot next time. Try and get some foreground in to give it a bit more perspective. Powerlines just don't do it for me

I had to walk around a bit to get the powerlines out of the frame. The things are everywhere.

I'd say that's the best shot yet Rob. Wide field definately does it for me."cool2:
