Pretty Scene at Dusk
Close after sunset on January 23rd Venus and Saturn were only about 1.25 degrees apart as they sank in the western sky below a nice crescent Moon. My new camera produced this nice image which is best viewed at full size. (Bright Venus is above dim Saturn.)
Earthshine on the Moon adds to the beauty! On the previous evening the planets were even closer together - only about 1/3 degree apart. Unfortunately, it was cloudy on January 22nd.
