Celestial Line 2007-06-20

Last night in Majadahonda, the sky cleared and I photographed an infrequent alignment of the Moon, Regulus, Saturn and Venus (from left to right). This alignment marks approximately the ecliptic. Technically it is the place where lunar and solar eclipses take place. However, during the last two days, the Moon has been eclipsing all the elements that has been encountering along the line... it seems that at least in this case the ecliptic definition could be extended a little...
