Details:
Despite the clouds I went out to photograph the approache between Jupiter and Venus and I was lucky the view that evening was indescribably beautiful.Even Mercury appeared between the cloud and the horizon just before it set,offering a dramatic scene with a flood of Stars up to mag.9 ore more,as well as the open star cluster Messier 44 in Cancer.
I had the Canon EOS RP equipped with a 40mm Sigma Art F/2, both on a Manfrotto tripod with a ball head,and with the Optolong L-Pro clip filter in the EOS I was able to expose for 5 seconds for this single image. Time: 20:53h UT.The image has enough space for all actors in crop mode, FoV.21°x31°.
Since I didn't want a bulletin board as a landscape, I made a separate picture 1x178 sec.F/4 ISO 800 - because in Kobernaussen it is really dark for which I am grateful to heaven !!
