Anocht pláinéad/ Bright Venus!

those are some nice images Conor, especiallty the last one, the B&W is artistic, very wintery, cool !

Nice work guys! Venus really is looking majestic at the moment and those pics really capture her full glory.

No Mars and no Venus but .....

Last Monday (28th Nov) morning I was eating my breakfast just before work and I had a glance out the back, and this is what I saw !!

Nicely done Mark! Judging by the amount of light in the sky, I'd say you're an early riser alright! Still, nice to have a sight like that to welcome you.
Reminds me of when I had to get up for school early (7am) and sometimes I'd get to see the planets that early!

Seanie.

Lovely shots Mark

Thats a great image Mark, welcome to astrophotography
You definitely get up earlier then me.
