An actual clear sky for a few hours last night. For reasons I won’t go into for the moment, I could only go out for a few minutes. But I still managed to take a few pics of the planets with my trusty Lumix GF7. I’ve stitched a couple together to try and see the four main ones at once. Not sure how well this will come out on a small screen though.

Sorry to cut across Mona’s excellent TFTD this morning.
Platitude of the Day 
Thanks again Peter!
Now then, if you managed to get Uranus and Neptune in the same shot as the others, that would be something….
Keep them coming.

Thanks Stephen. Uranus and Neptune are actually in shot. Uranus is just to the right of Jupiter and Neptune just to the left of Venus. They’re just too faint to show up in this picture. It would probably take a telescope to show them.
I’ve copied them in by hand in the following pic.

An unexpected bonus! Thanks again!
This alignment has of course got the astrologers and other woo-peddlers all excited, eg: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/astrology/planets-transits/the-planetary-parade-2025-a-once-in-a-lifetime-event-and-its-spiritual-meaning/articleshow/117549446.cms
