Default Planetary Alignment 10-7-08

Hi,

Here are the latest in this planetary race, Mars is now a mere 0.7 degrees away from Saturn as we see them as a wonderful sight as they follow the sun down on the western sky.

Cloud breaks allowed me to grab these shots with a tripod mounted Nikon D300 with a Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 lens , 2.5 seconds rated at 2000 ISO.

Here is what Tammy Plotner has to say on Universe Today:

Regards
Shevill
