During the month of May, Mars, Jupiter, Mercury, and Venus (and others) will become visible in the dawn sky, in a very tight formation only a few degrees apart. See spaceweather.com for more information.
I tried to take a photo this morning, but rushed it. I used my (Vinh's) Nikon F4 200, wide open, with the camera set to ISO 200 and used a shutter speed of 1/10s. Tomorrow I'll have another go and use a longer exposure time. I should have used a timer, because I got a bit of camera shake even though I mounted the camera on my Manfrotto 190 tripod.
