Details:
On 2nd April the waning Crescent 6% of Full Moon, Venus and Mercury were observed rising in clear sky to the east of Mutare for an hour before dawn. The Moon was close to Venus with Mercury far below. In the second and third photographs a tiny point of light is just visible very close to Mercury which is either star 90-Aqr in the constellation Aquarius or the current close conjunction with Neptune (last enlargement). Camera: Tripod Mounted Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60 in night scenery mode.
