Moon, Venus & Jupiter

On getting up at 7am this morning I noticed Venus and the Moon in the sky.
Grabbing my camera, I took a few quick shots.
Here's one that's processed alot to bring out Jupiter, which I didn't even see with the naked eye!


ISO 400; 1/60sec; 27mm F/5.6

Clear skies,

Nice on Michael,
I just couldn't get out of bed this morning to see it, and as it happens it was clear.
I didnt think they'd be so far apart, starry night seemed to indicated that they'd look nearer.

Michael, Lovely shot, I DID!!! get up at 5.30am this morning, same as last week (I must be mad) to capture this shot of all 3 this mornig, what a sight!, absolutely beautiful

Keith,
A fabulous shot, I think the surroundings and the subject are equally important in a picture like that.
You also cought Spica below and to the left of the Moon.

What was the camera and settings.

Dave, Thanks, glad you like it, it's from a nearby lake with a super east view, the surroundings add to the shot, i'm glad it came out well

Spica is to the left of the moon, but if you look closely enough to the left of Spica, you'll see Mars! at the 8 o'clock position.
I used a Canon Powershot A75, 4 second exposure at f3.2. Taken at 6.44am this morning

Cheers, Keith...

That's a MUCH better image you have Keith!
But then I guess you earned it - getting up so early and all.
Scenery makes a big difference to an image like that.
