Description

A week and a half ago I spent three gorgeous nights in Rio de Janeiro´s mountain region. Perfect weather and the new moon were a neat combination for astrophotography. 

Checking Stellarium software I realized that Venus and Mars were in conjunction, really close to each other. So, I had just to plan the night to be able to capture a precious moment.

To witness Venus and Mars appearing together from behind those mountains was a moment to remember. Such and incredible ephemeris must be photographed!

For this capture I've used a full frame DSLR camera with a 85mm lens. Done a four part mosaic.

The image was captured in a town called Teresópolis, two and a half hours drive from Rio city. The precise time of this capture was 3:51 AM, 03/March/2022.
