Three planets in the evening sky, as seen from the mountains of southern New Mexico. (Evening of 21 February.) See the 2nd graphic for a finder chart from planetarium sky simulation software. These three planets are very different in brightness, but the differences in sky background surrounding each planet ends up making them all appear roughly the same brightness in the photo. Venus is brightest, followed by Mercury, with Saturn the faintest of the three. #Astronomy #Planets #Saturn #Venus #Mercury #Photography #Astrophotography #Evening #Twilight #Pisces #Cetus

The young crescent moon occulted Mercury today...as seen from the mountains of southern New Mexico. First photo is a telephoto shot of the moon only a minute after it uncovered our innermost planet. This was taken in bright twilight as a wind and dust storm was easing up. Second photo is a wider angle shot ten minutes later that includes Venus in the bottom third of the frame. The evening twilight sky colors are pallid because of the dust storm clouds billowing a mile below me on the floor of the Tularosa basin. #Mercury #Moon #Crescent #Occult #Occultation #Astronomy #Twilight #Evening #Photography #Astrophotography

Mercury and Venus in the evening sky, as seen from the mountains of southern New Mexico on the evening of 11 February. Mercury stands in the dark blue twilight sky. Venus is down low in the bright orange band. Both planets continue to slowly climb higher into the evening sky and become easier to see. Compare tonight's photo to the view on 8 Feb: https://universeodon.com/@KrajciTom/116038271039187053 Here is how things looked on 4 Feb: https://universeodon.com/@KrajciTom/116015649942102363 Every evening has a different mix twilight colors, and those colors change by the minute. #Venus #Mercury #Evening #Twilight #Photography #Astrophotography #NewMexico #Astronomy

Mercury and Venus in the evening sky, as seen from the mountains of southern New Mexico. Mercury is high enough that it stands in the dark blue twilight sky. Venus is still down low in the bright orange band, close to distant trees. The first photo was taken with an 85mm lens (APS-C sensor). The second photo was taken 10 minutes later, just before Venus set, and used a 135mm lens. Minute by minute, the twilight sky changes so much in brightness, colors, and saturation. Here is a photo from four evenings ago when both planets were closer to the sun and nestled in even brighter twilight: https://universeodon.com/@KrajciTom/116015649942102363 #Venus #Mercury #Evening #Twilight #Photography #Astrophotography #NewMexico #Astronomy
