Four planet sunset

CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!

Four planet sunset

Post by jiahao1986 »

Hi folks,

Suddenly remembered I haven't posted this photo here. I took this photo on the summit of Gunung Lawu in Central Java last month. Breathtaking view~

Wow!!! [smilie=admire.gif]

These are really great photos. They are the best I have seen, anywhere and anytime.

Please send it to astronomy or S&T magazine. I am very confident they would be published!!!

Incredible! These images are harder to come by with the ever increasing light encroachment to remote regions. [smilie=admire2.gif]

Yes, JiaHao. I saw all 4 planets visually on one evening during the same period in Singapore too but did not have my scope with me.
Awesome shots with the LMS and SMC! I have yet to see them myself. Was at sea many years back where the skies was cleat but ignorant of the objects, hence not looking for them :(
