Evening Star


 

A couple of weeks ago on evening  I looked out the kitchen window and noticed the evening star and a crescent moon, no need to say what I did next

Up to the bathroom window for a couple of photos with my phone


 Zooming in you could see the star and the moon clearer though I little grainy but really what do you expect using a phone on full zoom

Lets try it again with a camera


 I only used the medium zoom I had with this which was 230mm but it shows the moon sharper

Change over to portrait mode


and crop it a little, Could have been a little closer but beggars can't be choosers

Happy Skywatch

  2. Beautiful photos, Bill. Makes me wonder if maybe that star is a planet. Here we've been seeing the moon with Venus, and sometimes on a very rare clear night, the moon with Saturn and Mars as well.

  5. Looks like the moon was trying to catch the star and hoping to put it in its pocket. ( I'm going to have that tune in my head for hours now).

    1. Ah I thought it was "Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket"

  6. Nice photos. I love it when there's just a thin sickle of moon like that.
