Moon & Venus Conjunction June 8th was created by Keith g
All, This one is again from Portugal on Wednesday night last, Venus was so easy to spot after sunset all week, about 10 degrees up due to the more southerly location about 20 mins after sunset. The moon was about 5 degrees away, at only 3% sunlit phase. Venus is below the moon, to the left of the illuminated church tower.

Details: Canon 300D with 85mm lens at f10
Exposure: 1.6 seconds, ISO 1600
Date & Location: 8th June 2005, Albufeira , Portugal
