Venus, Mercury and Jupiter in the Twilight (3 August 2016)
 |  |
| Going from bottom to top, Venus, Regulus, Mercury and Jupiter in the evening twilight as seen from Adelaide at 18:15 ACST. click to embiggen to see them more easily. 1 second ASA 400 exposure Canon IXUS. | Same image as before but with an enlarged inset of Venus Mercury and Regulus to make them easier to see (click to embiggen) |
For the first time in ages the clouds cleared so that I could see the line-up of all five bright planets in the evening. Venus was very obvious even shortly after sunset, followed by Jupiter then Mercury by about half an hour after sunset. Regulus took a bit more time to come into view. Hopefully it will all be clear tomorrow as well, for when Venus and Regulus are joined by the Moon.
