Details:
This was Venus (right) and Jupiter (centre) with Regulus at left, in a cloudy twilight sky on Friday, June 12, as Venus and Jupiter converge toward their close conjunction in the evening sky on June 30. I shot this from near Vulcan, Alberta, after delivering an evening program at the Trek Centre in Vulcan as a guest speaker. Clouds prevented us from seeing anything in the sky at the public event, but on my home skies cleared enough to reveal the two bright planets in the twilight. I stopped at an abandoned farmyard I had scouted out earlier in the evening, to serve as a photogenic backdrop. This is an HDR stack of 3 bracketed exposures to record detail in the dark foreground as well as bright sky.
