More Dancing Planets
This magnificent image of the 2 September planetary lineup is from Chris Wyatt of Bendigo.
Taken at 6:52 pm local time on September 2, it shows the Moon with the planets Mars, Mercury and Venus. Like me, he had clouds early on, but they cleared at sunset.
The image was taken with his Canon S2IS set on 400 ASA at F4 for 1.6 sec and about 3 times magnification. (As usual, click on the image for a larger version)
