About this image

Tried to get the planetary 'alignment' that the media were on about but of course Mercury and Jupiter set with the Sun. The bonus was the appearance of the ISS crossing the Seven Sisters

A screenshot!! I appear to have deleted the original image (and everything else taken that evening) due to updating my system back-up!! Lesson to be learned there.
