Details:
Very slowly, Venus is again evening star. She is still hidden deep in the haze over the evening horizon, but can already be seen photographically or with binoculars. A high location with free horizon view is still needed. Venus is located in the middle of the shot as a yellowish point between the high voltage mast and the chimney on the horizon. At the time of the shot, she was only 1.0 ° above the horizon and shone with a brightness of -3.8 mag. The eastern elongation from the sun was 16.4 ° with an apparent diameter of only 10.27 ".
It was my first observation of the planet in the following evening visibility.
Details: Canon EOS 6D, Pentacon 4/200 (F5.6), ISO 200, 1/15s, 16:41 UT.
