Thanks to everyone for the feedback. I also think Sam's shot is better than
the one on APOD.
As for my observing experience this morning (Saturday) from the local park,
the planets were even lower than I was expecting -- had to look between a
couple of trees and just over the roof of a house. Could see Jupiter and
Mercury naked-eye, but needed binoculars to make out Mars. Didn't notice Beta
Scorpii even with the binocs, probably because I didn't know exactly where to
look. I snapped a photo, but won't be developing the film for a while.
Please let me know if you get any photos of Sunday morning's arrangement.
