Collinear Planets
Jupiter and Venus are now the brightest objects in the sky. Until, that is, the crescent Moon makes an appearance, as happened this evening. The thing that made the scene expecially photogenic was the collinear arrangement -- three planetary bodies arrayed in a straight line. It was so gorgeous I couldn't resist a quick pre-dinner astrophotography session. The shot was one second at f/4, using ISO 400.
About a minute later, Luna snuggled under her blanket of horizon clouds and disappeared.
