Hi all,

Here is another image from our trip down under, a planetary conjunction that 
was nearly invisible from the northern hemisphere, but easily seen to the best 
advantage from the Australian Outback.  The sunsets and twilight's were 
spectacular out there, often a deep orange hue very near the horizon from the 
desert dusts.
