Conjunction Animation

The first obvious difference is that here in Oz Venus and Jupiter set well after dark, so there are no nice colours like Stuart's, and you can't see the foreground trees (which I could see, but don't come out on the image at a gamma correction of 1.8, the highest I can go before things get grainy). At the end Jupiter winks out and in as it passess through some branches. Also Venis and co are setting almost vertically compared with stuarts image. Not a bad effort for using an elderly version of Gifcon.
