On the evening of April 11, 2015, Venus was located about two degrees from the pleiades open cluster. This photo shows the pair setting in the western sky shortly after the end of astronomical twilight. This is a stack of ten 15 second exposures (Canon T2i, Canon 100 mm f/2 lens @ f/3.5, ISO 400). Tracking was done with an iOptron sky tracker and stacking done using Nebulosity.
