The Moon and Venus were STUNNING in the sky this evening, Jan. 21.And, if you knew where to look, you could see Mercury too.
This picture was taken where Hotel Bonaire used to be at Playa Lechi. Venus is the brightest object towards the upper left, with some stars of Capricornus visible as well. The Moon is pretty obvious on the right side. Mercury is at the middle of the bottom edge. The trio just barely fit in the field of view of my lens at 70mm. Phew!
Because Mercury was so close to the edge of the frame, it isn't that round, which makes it easier to see in the image, which is cool by me.
