Details:
Venus (at left) and Jupiter remain close together in the dawn sky, and to the east of Scorpius, here at right, with reddish Antares shining between the trees.
This was January 26, 2019. The two planets were closer together earlier in the week but clouds got in the way! Illumination is from the waning gibbous Moon off frame at right.
This is a stack of 5 exposures for the ground to smooth noise, and a single untracked exposure for the sky, all 10 seconds at f/4 with the 50mm Sigma lens and Canon 6D MkII at ISO 500. Shot from the back acres of my home site in Alberta on a mild winter morning, with some light cloud drifting through.
The sky and ground have been enhanced with Orton-style glow effects applied with Luminar 3. The diffraction spikes were added with Astronomy Tools actions. So, yes, this is a “processed” image, punched up a bit to look pretty. It also provides a good demo example of Rule of Thirds composition.
