Details:
This is a picture I took on June 8th from the top of La Palma at 2300 m elevation. It shows planet Venus visible immediately after sunset at an angular distance of just 53 arc minutes from the edge of the solar disk. The "anti-transit" of Venus, or occultation of the planet by the Sun, ended less than 80 hours before this photo was taken.
Equipment used: Takahashi FC-76 with 1.04x flattener + Nikon D810A. 593 mm focal length, f/7.8, exposure 1/50 s, ISO 200. No filters.
The planet appears vertically elongated and split into different colors as a result of extreme atmospheric dispersion at the horizon.
