It doesn't seem like much on the photo, but it was a major effort on my part to wake up an hour before sunrise (hours before my usual wakeup time) on a cold, late autumn morning to view this rare event when four planets move visually close together. Highest up was Jupiter, lower and brightest was Venus. To the right was my first ever sight of Mercury (small and nearest to the sun, surprisingly bright) and low down in the horizon, a faint glimpse of Mars. Click on the image for a larger view.
