Image Details:

One thing that has been on my bucket list for a long time has been staying at a resort that focuses on astronomy and dark sky observing. The closest to us is Canyon of the Eagles resort near Lake Buchanan in the Texas hill country north west of Austin. Now that I have retired, Linda and I decided to take a few days to check it out.
I got up Thursday morning at about 4:30, pulled on a jacket and grabbed my gear to set up our front of our room to try shooting the Milky Way. After I wrapped up and was ready to head back to bed, I caught a glimpse of Venus through the trees so I walked out to the point overlooking Lake Buchanan for a better view. Realizing that four planets had just risen - Jupiter, Venus, Mars and Saturn (left to right) - I set up my rig again and started shooting. This was the result.
