Re: [APML] Mercury and the Moon

Very nice picture. I really love these widefield conjunction shots.
My observing partner, Peter Carson and myself, braved 2 wet twilights (23rd
and 24th) to try to get some wide angle shots of Mercury, crescent Moon,
Venus, Mars & Saturn. Won't know how successful till film developed.
We didn't hang about long though, for the church on the hill we were stood
in front of, is claimed to be inhabited by at least 6 witches

I'm sure I heard some strange sounds.......
