Details:
Blue and white planets: an unexpectedly clear evening had me driving down the valley trying to find the lowest mountains to capture setting Venus and Neptune (almost invisible with twilight and moonlight) a few hours before conjunction, a once-in-a-lifetime chance, at least for me so far. 02:04 UT, DSLR with 300mm lens, 1 sec at f3.5, 6400 iso, regrettably not well focused in the rush. Neptune is near top centre.
