Re: [APML] Another Planetary Conjunction Picture

Beautiful shot, Eddie! It's amazing the way E200 comes through on almost everything---I was avoiding it for the planets because I thought it wasn't fast enough, but your color and contrast are perfect.
 
I also like the comparison of your and Philip's ecliptic angle relative to mine

The more northerly location really shows up!

For those that aren't fed up with them yet, here's another.
 
 
Taken last Saturday 5 May at 21.57 local time. Unfortunately I couldn't get to Stonehenge (nice
picture Philip) so I travelled to my nearest scenic area, Thaxted in Essex. One of the blades of
the windmill points to Mercury.
 
Olympus OM10 with 28mm lens at F4 - 10 seconds on E200
 
It was the best of about 15 images that I took (bracketed exposures) and I was very pleased with the
result.
 
Your comments are welcome
