Description

On spring evenings, the Moon passes around spectacular objects. The Moon can be in conjunction with a planet, a brighter constellation, or even a comet.

On April 11, 2024, the long-awaited conjunction was a Moon-Pleiades conjunction, where the Moon in its 12% phase was not so disturbing, so you could see the celestial pair well even with the naked eye.

The shot was taken with a 135mm telephoto lens and a Canon EOS1100D, where the system had to "see through a tree". It is true that there is a shot taken completely under the open sky, but still this silhouette photo is perhaps more interesting and unusual.
