A most worthy APOD - congratulations Mike! I know you put a great deal of effort and thought into these photos, and it certainly pays off in the tremendous images you produce so consistently.

Well done Mike another classic.

They will have to rename APOD to "Mikes APOD"

Thanks everyone, I appreciate your comments.

Whenever I submit an image for APOD, you always want it to be chosen and published, but never expect it. It's always a thrill, and very exciting, to receive an email reply after so many times of receiving no reply

Interestingly, my first 2 APOD's were hi-res images of Jupiter, but my last 3 have been of conjunctions with nothing more than an entry level DSLR, a cheap Sigma lens and a tripod.

I guess i've been lucky to have captured these beautiful events with the sky putting on a special show.

Thanks Dennis - this quote means the most to me as I do try and plan these shots out for days, and sometimes weeks before hand. It's really nice when the effort is recognised. It makes it all worthwhile.

Thanks again.
