Details:
For three days I shot photos of Venus and Jupiter during the morning hours. I then took the images from each day and created a layered image. Next, I shifted each image up/down, left/right until the planet Jupiter lined up. The result was that the composite contains a single image of Jupiter along with three images of Venus. This makes it easy to see how the two planets were shifting relative to each other over the course of three days.
The photos were taken from Mars Hill where Lowell Observatory is located and look over the city of Flagstaff, Arizona, the world's first International Dark Sky City.
