VenusMercuryConjunction-20221229-7
Spent the last couple of nights out at the Howard County Conservancy to catch the Venus/Mercury Conjunction. Here is a set of images from both days that were taken through a Williams Optics GT71mm scope and a Canon T7i camera. The images follow the planets as they descended to the horizon with many different colors showing as a backdrop. High clouds on Wednesday night caused a little dimming of the planets in which I had to bring them out a bit, but provides some really nice extra colors.
