Mercury, Venus & 4% Waning Moon-6-3-08

Hi,

Almost missed this one - just about 10 minutes earlier would have been better to get some earth shine. Timing is critical with these sort of shots, especially to get Mercury (top).

Just love these fleeting one-off's, something special about capturing conjunctions, right time, place & equipment.

Nikon D300-Nikkor 80 - 200 f/2.8ED

Clear skies...
