Description

The April 3rd conjunction of Venus-Pleiades was a spectacular sight. Was taken from my observation deck in Southern Idaho using my Canon 77D crop sensor and a Canon 300mm f/4 lens ISO 1600 at 6 secs. Mistakenly forgot to check my settings so took only jpegs, so didn't bother to stack. Also notice a slight greenish-glare near Venus. Probably due to its brightness compared to everything else, probably should have extended my lens hood to eliminate that.
