Planet No-Show.

Yesterday evening at Jennycliffe, Plymouth, following expert's advice to see planets in alignment "the best time just after sunset".
Venus I believe appeared early, seen in the top right of my pic, it was freezing and SWMBO had enough at 18:40 (so had I TBH) so we left along with the majority of the hundred other people. A disappointing no-show of planets for us.
Here's a couple I took, played with briefly in RT, K1 mk2 and DFA 70-210 F4.

Despite you being stood up, i do like both of these, especially the 2nd

Just in case this is lost in translation, stood up is a reference to your no-show rather than your shooting stance.

I prefer to read it otherwise, it's much funnier that way!

Speaking personally, I like the fact that there isn't a traffic jam of planets in the photos. If there were, I'd be looking at them and ignoring the rest of the picture. As they aren't there, I've been looking at and thoroughly enjoying two absolutely glorious photos. Superb. Keep 'em coming!

Lovely photos in any case.

Thank you guys for your comments, appreciated as always

Err.... you could only see 4 of the visible ones - Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Mars. Saturn was very low on the UK horizon. This made it too faint to see.

As for Neptune and Uranus.... there an effing long long long long long long way away!!! Need a telescope, big huge binos or an epically long focal length lens!!

As for a traffic jam.... it was more of a considerate Sunday driver spacing mooch across the sky.....

That aside.....

The colours on yer images are superb!!!

Thanks Spad.
