I drug myself out of bed at 4am this morning to make a short drive to Cape Sebastian and it was well worth it. A multi conjunction of sorts with the Moon and Venus near Castor and Pollux, Mars, and the ISS passing through the heart of Orion. 18mm 25 sec f/4 ISO 800  My favorite Constellation, still early, but still beautiful. 50mm 10 sec f/2.2 ISO1600  Moon and Venus 50mm 1/4 sec f/2.2 ISO 100  |

Hats off to you Richard, those are beautiful. The 1st and 3rd images are perfect for SW, and considerably better than the other images on there today. I was hoping to see the conjunction myself but the clouds had other ideas. Well done again  |

Great work! I tried, but like Martin, the clouds prevailed.
