The 2002 planetary alignment includes the five (six if you consider the Earth in the foreground) inner planets, all conveniently visible after sunset. As an added bonus, Comet Utsunomiya was close to Mercury, though it was so dim, it doesn't show up in the widefield shots. Click on the small images below for more photos.
