Description

On the evening of January 21st, 2015 I captured this image on a tripod with my Canon 5D Mark III. The moon is featured prominently just after sunset illuminated by both the sun and earth shine. To the upper right of the moon shining brightly is the planet Venus. To the lower left Mercury can be seen. A couple of bright stars are also visible, to the upper left of Venus we see Deneb Al Giedi in Capricorn, and to the upper right of the moon is Sadalsuud in the constellation Aquarius. In the foreground is my mount and telescope ready for a night of astrophotography. 4 seconds at f/11 @ISO 400. Canon EF 24-105 f/4L at 55mm (image was further cropped a bit).
