Details:
On 29 September the very thin young (22 hours after new) Moon was captured setting behind Murahwa Mountain near Mutare in exactly the same place where the Sun disappeared 50 minutes earlier. Both young Moon and Venus first became visible about half an hour after sunset and were photographed descending until the Moon disappeared behind the mountain. After the Moon had set darkness approached and Mercury with the bright star Spica (to left) became visible in triangular formation above Venus. Cameras: 2x Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60's in sunset, night scene and manual modes
