I just managed to capture Venus and Jupiter at there closest approach (only 1.4 degrees apart) before a large dark cloud (that looked a bit like a Dragon) completely covered the planets, at least I got a picture of them :-)
Venus has now passed Jupiter on the ecliptic and will continue to get higher each night until the new crescent Moon joins them in a couple of days time, so the shows not over yet…
My image was taken with a Canon 70D camera and a Tamron 18-400mm lens on a tripod; the exposure time was 0.4 seconds and ISO1250 and YES, the mosquitoes nearly ate me alive again!
