Three planets and the Moon in conjunction...

Worth getting up for!
This morning I started my 5 mile exercise at 5.00am, reaching the top of the Heath in time to see the conjunction between the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars. Mars was pretty faint, but visible: the other two were quite bright (relatively speaking!)

The waning last quarter Moon was, as always at this phase, pretty spectacular with the chain of three large craters Ptolemaeus, Alphonsus and Arzachel lying on the terminator.
