Description

All planets in our Solar System are in the view!

This is taken on the morning of June 24, 2022, when all planets are lining up in the sky with the moon joining the party. 

(Neptune and Uranus are too dim to be captured by camera)

Please note that Mercury is actually captured in the frame. It was very difficult to get Mercury as it was so low in the sky, even with a magnitude of 0 at the time the photo is taken.

In this photo, you will find Mercury, Venus, Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, all lining up across the sky. 

This is a combination of 2 photos as Saturn was so far and I wasn't able to capture it on the same frame along with other planets. 

Camera: Canon T5i (on tripod)
Lens: Rokinon 10mm
