Ok.. at least a two planet conjunction with Jupiter and Venus very close together in the Western sky. Going from left to right, Jupiter is first, Venus is second, Mercury is quite low near the horizon to the right of the bird feed. This is a 15 second exposure with a Canon Powershot A540

The next shot was taken with a Canon Powershot A495 (a lower model number but a newer camera!), also a 15 second exposure looking west.
