TAKAHASI FSQ106ED(D=106mm, F=5)*1.6 extender(fl=850mm,F=8.0) Canon R5, ISO1000, 10sec exposure I looked at Venus while searching for Comet Leonard among the clouds. The Venus Pillar(*) was visible as a cross. The icy clouds make this figure. Merry Christmas! (*) A light pillar due to Venus. A light pillar is an atmospheric optical phenomenon in which a vertical beam of light appears to extend above and/or below a light source. The effect is created by the reflection of light from tiny ice crystals that are suspended in the atmosphere.
