I was fortunate to have a clear sky this morning at 05:30 and could observe and image a conjunction of Venus an Mercury just above a retirement village across the road from us.
Camera: Sony Cybershot T10 on tripod with self timer and Twilight setting.

Phil,

Great sharing of this experience. I wish I could have seen it, but with your help I have!

Like Venus, Jupiter and the moon, I've been clouded out again. Foggy this morning and while it cleared late in the day it is again cloudy and expected to be thick fog by morning. To see it I'd have to walk a half mile across the lake (nicely frozen but wading through 18" of snow is no fun) to see it. I have a high hill to the east that blocks anything that low.

Thanks for the pix, its the only way I'll see it, besides in a planetarium program on the computer.

They came out well. You have a good horizon and skies that low.

We are looking at 2 rainy snowy days again, so no fun for me for a few days
