Venus – 6:26 AM, 10-23-2023 – Looking due East just before Sunrise. I caught the tail end of the blue hour (which actually lasts about 20 minutes). Just after 6:10AM might be the perfect time to catch it when it’s higher from the horizon and still shining in the dark.
Venus in her greatest Western elongation
Greetings Beloved Kin,
I was “called” outside for trash day and stumbled in to the “blue hour.” Venus was bright enough to catch my eye, shining like crazy through the leaves and branches. This is my low-resolution attempt at astro-photography. Venus is a steady light. At its farthest separation from the Sun, Venus captures center-stage with the Sun following below the horizon.
