    Just Back from trying to capture the alignment of The Moon , Jupiter , Venus And Mercury ... Was gonna wait till Saturday but with the clear skies today i said i'd go for it tonight as The weekend doesnt look promising.
    Sadly with mercury only visible near the horizon for 40 mins or so after sunset it didnt show its face. But was happy enough getting The Moon - Jupiter and Venus still in Shot.

    General settings.

    Camera - Nikon D7000 + iPhone 4
    Tripod
    Lens 10-20 Sigma
    ISO - From 200 - 400
    Aperture - High between F 9 - F 14
    Exposure - Long exposure Between 10 - 30 Seconds

    Heres Some of the results.

    HDR Image with Half Moon to start them off. :cool:
