Night Sky Photography -- 02-22-2024 -- Venus & Mars Before Sunrise

Greetings fellow stargazers! 

I had to wake up a bit early -- about an hour, or so, before sunrise -- to capture these two really outstanding shots of our Earth's nearest planetary neighbors: Venus and Mars together just above the trees in the eastern sky.

Mars will continue to rise higher into the morning sky, but will still appear faint and only really be visible before sunrise for most of 2024. Venus will begin to move lower towards the sunrise in its orbit.
