Planet Alignment

I took this photo on the fireworks setting and propped the camera on the binoculars on the fence. When I held it I got a really cool heart beat line with the star light. Mars is a tiny speck above the tallest tree.

5:30 am Brisbane

Happy star gazing,
Val

  1. HI Val,
    How fascinating, you have taught me about Mars!
    My partner waited up the other morning early to watch the conference of planets (probably not the exact name!) it is always great to look at the planet and the stars, my partner also has loanded his dads telescope so we will be doing some star gazing soon, I'll have to do a blog on it soon!

  2. We have a telescope, binoculars and two SLR cameras with fancy lenses, but we were snugly tucked up in bed. It's been bitterly cold here and both of us have been sick so thanks for sharing this once-in-our-lifetime's event with us.
