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!!

Thank you Jonathan!

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!

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

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