Venus, Jupiter and Mercury.
Took this image of the three planets that are now forming a nice triangle in the night skies just after dusk in the west.
It was also my first view of Mercury.
I have now seen Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune either through the scope or naked eye.
One, or two left depending on how you feel about the status of Pluto.
Here are the details of this capture.
ISO 100
Single 5 second exposure
Canon 1200D on a fixed tripod.
The image was captured from a open field overlooking the western horizon.
The houses in the foreground are in Yellowood park with Chatsworth and Queensburgh in the background.
