Just taken these images from the apron/ramp between gate 225/226 @ LHR with my iPhone 6.

Nice one.

Here is one at just before sunrise from the front garden, taken on smart phone.
The earth shine was very evident but not on photo.

And here’s one just after sunrise with the iPhone. ?

Good stuff. I got one earlier whilst scraping frost off the car. Will have to post it later as it’s on another phone.

Nice one Phil, lovely wasn't it? The Earth shine was really clear. Rather than creating a new thread, I hope you don't mind me adding mine here. Handheld Samsung S9, couldn't find a convenient place to lean but with short shutter speed they are not too bad. I was playing around with shutter speed to see how much earthshine I could get. Semi successful.

I am glad I started this thread with the interest you are showing... and of course I don't mind anyone adding their images to it. The more the merrier.

Very nice pics here. I particularly like the ones with the planes. Unusual.

This morning Bilborough Top services at York. C6:30 am.  -2c.  Bit foggy.

It was lovely this morning.

Quick shot with an old Samsung Galaxy A5 from my front garden. Earthshine very clear.

Heres mine from yesterday morning. Bit of earthshine visible.

This was on my galaxy S8+

It was one of those rare morning where it was so pretty it almost made you late for work.

Very nice pics. The previous night, the Moon, Venus, and Spica were forming a lovely triangle. The following night the Moon lagged behind, producing that beautiful line-up.

I meant to post this a couple of weeks ago. I was out scraping ice off the car, but at least had a nice view.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I took a similar photo on my smartphone. Insomnia has its benefits :)

Can anyone point me to a resource which tells me when the Moon, Venus and Spica will line up again?

TIA

I post images on a local FaceBook page where I live. Who knows, maybe if I can get interest up, people will turn off some lights.

One person asked about the very bright star with a smaller one near it, so I took this to show her what she was really seeing in the sky.

Blew the moon and Venus out to get the stars!

Hi @Boodysaspie and welcome to SGL. 

You could try Stellarium.

The PC 'desktop'/'laptop' is free. I have an old version on an old Apple iBook G4; (before they dropped Motorola/PPC chipsets in favour of intel chipsets - now they are going there own again who knows - I don't want to start a political argument as to which chipset is best/better); and that too was free. 

Tablet & phone for Android OS & iOS versions are also available... but you have to pay.
