Details:
I figured the close approach last week of Venus to Zubenelgenubi (alpha Librae) would be captured by others (and I was right), but a few degrees east on the same day towards sunset Austin time the Moon occulted Zubenelakrab (gamma Librae) too, which reappeared a few minutes after sunset. Its closeness to the Moon kept it lost in its glare, preventing a good capture of both pairs together.

I've also included a shot taken 15 minutes prior to sunset showing a broad fan of crepuscular rays. Moon photos taken with a Panasonic GX8 and 100-300mm f/4-5.6 lens, sunset with 12-35 f/2.8 lens.
