For my first night sky photographs for October 2024, I present to y'all two photos I took this evening of the Very Young Crescent Moon with the planet Venus in the evening sky about 40 minutes after sunset. Both photos came out very well in the cloudless sky at dusk. I used a tree in a nearby empty field in the foreground to line up the two heavily bodies nicely.
Venus is now in the evening sky following the earlier
sunset in autumn here in South Carolina and appears as a very bright
evening star. Its usually the first "star" to appear after sunset, so
spotting it right now in the evening sky dome will be easy this month, even without Luna as a
starting point.
The next time these two meet will be on the evening of Monday, November 4th, when the pair will appear to be even closer.
More night sky photography coming soon. Have a wonderful evening and be sure to keep your eyes to the night skies, y'all hear!
