This is a combination of two photos. Both were taken with Nikon Z6 and Sigma 150-600 mm lens at 600 mm and a 2.0 teleconverter for an effective focal length of 200 mm and F/13 aperture and an ISO 3200. This covers 1.71 deg horizontally. The Moon and Venus are about 0.5 deg apart. Regulus is the star in the lower right. To get the Earth shine, I used an exposure of 2 seconds. To get the bright side of the crescent moon so it was not over exposed, I use a duration of 1/125 second.

Earth and Venus this morning. This is a combination of two exposures (see alt). #scape #SkyScape #MoonScape #EastCoastKin #astrophotography #Moon #Venus #MoonVenus #MoonVenusConjunction
