Planetary alignment

This was the view from Ruddock Park, Westleigh, at 5:30am yesterday. There's Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, and Mars (the much fainter red one just above the trees).

It was quite a spectacle, and they only come together quite as close as this once every 50 to 100 years. Not sure I'll make the next one.
