Mars, Jupiter and Venus
Lens: Pentax-M 28 mm f/2.8 Camera: K-30 Photo Location: Montreal, Canada ISO: 200 Shutter Speed: 6s Aperture: F4.8 
Posted By: SunValley, 10-24-2015, 03:22 PM

Got up early this morning and went to Mont-Royal park overlooking the city of Montreal to catch the triple conjunction between Mars (the dimmest), Jupiter and Venus (the brightest).
The clouds almost ruined everything (15 minutes before the sky was all clouded out) but ended up helping a great deal!

Lovely shot! And one of my favorite spots in a favorite city. Adding the planets is just great. Very nice! Bravo.

Great shot. An early morning view of the skyline, a terrific blend of colours, interesting clouds (!), and those three planets in just the right position. Well done, indeed.

Great shot indeed. I wanted to get up early to take mine, but not stars, just fog.
