The night of June 25th, 2022, presented a rare opportunity for earthbound observers to view all the naked eye solar system planets at once. As a bonus, the crescent moon would be out close to the ecliptic making it a truly rare alignment.
Up to three planets at a time are a relatively common sight I had recorded before but all five would be a personal first. In the run up to this day, the images poured in from various astro-photographers on social media. They looked beautiful, but also more similar than not.
To change things up a bit, I planned to capture the event in two different ways. The first, would be a customary panoramic still as seen from the east facing window of my bedroom. The second would be a timelapse which would catch all the action.
