Image Details:

5 planets - Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn align at dawn over NYC but good luck getting them into a single shot (image). The planets are more than 90 degrees apart and the distance between Mercury and Saturn is about 93-94 degrees right now for NYC area. My Rokinon lense gives me max angle-of-view of 84 degrees. I had to assemble 2 shots to capture all 5 planets. Mercury is a little hard to spot as it is still low on the horizon and is somewhat obscured by the glow of sunrise and the light pollution from NYC.
