Details:
Last night there was a lovely close conjunction of Venus with the three day old waxing crescent Moon in the western sky.
While taking my images I watched as a plane approached and hoped it would go across the lunar surface, but it just passed by flashing its white and red lights…. I wonder if anybody was looking out there plane window and saw the beautiful sky view ☺ ☺ ☺
Images were taken with a Canon 70D camera and Tamron 28-400mm lens, using ISO 200 and exposure time of 4 seconds.
