Details:
A few more images showing the superb sunset conjunction. This time, besides the "normal" sunset images, I have uploaded another pair, acquired during daytime, when the true conjunction took place. The images were acquired at 12:17 U.T. The Moon was invisible even on single frames, mainly, I think, due to the cirrus clouds that covered the area of the two celestial objects. Only when I got back home and started processing all of the 168 frames I did notice the very thin crescent. The daytime images were acquired using a 4.5" APO Refractor @F/7 and Canon 550D at ISO 100 and 1/4000s exposures. There is also an enhanced B-W version which shows better the crescent.

Thanks for capturing these images. It is too cloudy here to see either the moon or Venus.
