During May (2011) we saw the unusual spectacle of four bright planets rising in the East before dawn.
I assisted at the special pre-dawn viewing session at Sydney Observatory on the 13th, here are some photos:
A few days later at McMahons Point I setup my Canon 1000d and took a frame every 20 seconds, I created an animation of these at a rate of 12.5 per second and added a title frame. A Power-Point slide sequence of the procedure is https://rossmitchell.net.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/FourPlanets.ppt. The resulting movie can be seen:
