Details:
Magnificent constellation of the only 47h old crescent moon with the 2.6° distant and +0.7 mag bright Mercury. A tiny little test of patience with some clouds... The Pleiades were just as far to the right of Mercury, but the small cloud didn't want to reveal the view of the seven sisters... 😉 The faint star just above and to the right of the crescent moon is 37 Tau (+4.3 mag).
Canon EOS 6D + Pentacon 4/200 (F5.6), ISO 320, 2s, 21:28 Uhr MESZ (CEST)
