Description

For a short time, Venus, Jupiter, the Moon, Saturn, and Mars all lined up over the dome at the Lake Afton Observatory (and technically Neptune as well). Usually I am annoyed by clouds, but in this case they covered enough of the Moon for me to properly expose to capture some of the brighter stars as well.

Multiple panels combined using Microsoft ICE (Photoshop couldn't handle it properly for some reason), then processed to increase saturation and smooth out the darker regions.
