    Great shot!! I saw this too!! lol. Saw it when it was darker, which would have made it harder to capture. IMO.
    But you did a great job!!

    Great capture Paul – it’s nice to see it from a different part of the world – he in Oz Venus and Jupiter looked like eyes and the moon was a smile.

    Lovely isn’t it Paul, we have a marvellously clear sky here in Utah tonight as well (although it’s supposed to snow like the clappers tomorrow!) ;-) I do love the conjunction though, so fun to look at…

  • Paul Gitto replied

    Yes , they are fun to see, especially when they are so bright.
    Have fun in the snow!

    Great shot – from my side of world it looked like a smiley face

  • Paul Gitto replied

    Thank you Helene! 12 hours earlier the Moon was to the right of the Planets. Too bad we missed that here.

  • Paul Gitto replied

    Thank you, It was the 12 hour time difference, as the moon moved to the other side of the planets.
