Details:
On Sunday 7th July, the young 2.6% illuminated Waxing Crescent Moon and Mercury were recorded descending and setting in another Volcanic Sunset near Transmitter Hill to the WNW of Mutare. In the first two pictures taken at 5.46 and 5.55 pm the Young Crescent Moon and then Mercury were difficult to see due to the strong colours of a bright Volcanic Sunset Twilight Arch. In the last two pictures Earthshine becomes visible on the shadow portions of the Moon and Mercury shines brighter above. Camera: Tripod-mounted Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS40 in sunset mode.
