The Moon.

[JohnP]

Three planets and the Moon are visible this evening, as much as I would like to photograph them all without the correct equipment I am always disappointed. The Moon is easy to get good results, Mars, Saturn & Jupiter are the planets that are visible.

Good one John - we have had cloudy skies most nights, so can't see or do much.

Excellent detail. There was something very bright at about 4.00 a.m. in the North East - about 45 degrees up from the horizon. Looked like a planet. Any ideas?

David... I'm pretty sure you saw Venus!

I had a disappointment last night, it was lovely and clear at 9pm so I fixed the camera onto the tripod and sorted the settings. I was going to try and photograph the Moon and Mars in a single shot but a blanket of cloud came over at midnight, that was the time to start photographing. If it is clear this evening there could be another chance as I think they might be even closer together... fingers crossed!

Nice shot! I had a great view of the moon around midnight last night, with Mars just nearby. Got a good shot of the moon, but didn’t manage anything of Mars other than a blurry circle that could have been anything, lol.

I have virtually no expertise in this area but it looked a little high in the sky to be Venus. I am probably wrong but I understood Venus tends to stay close to the horizon.

Nice one John
