Hi all

I managed to get a couple of images of the conjunction, this time I decided that I needed a foreground object and the local St Matthias church did the job. I also attempted to get a little creative with the Moon.

Here are the images, hope you like them.

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning.

Thanks for the comments, guys, I was especially pleased with the first image and agree with you, Dave, a foreground object can add greatly to a blank image.
