Details:
Yesterday was a total full day for astronomy! In the evening sky two conjunctions could be seen. The first one (bottom of the picture) between the Moon, Mars and Spica and the second one (upper part of the picture, box in the second) between Ceres and Vesta!
It was difficult to balance the light of the Moon with the thin clouds that were present in the sky, but after the tenth shot, I managed to capture it right where I wanted it. The second picture is the same, except with some labels and a box with the Ceres/Vesta position magnified.
