Day 122 Tuesday 22nd July 2014 The Moon and Venus in the morning sky
The Moon and Venus were prominent in the East in the early morning sky. This is a handheld shot with my Sony 350 DSLR with the Mediterranean Sea to the left.
The Moon is at 20% phase and waning in the constellation of Taurus just above Aldebaran.
Venus is brilliant at magnitude -3.9 in Gemini with a phase of 90%.
Mercury is below and the the left of Venus at 7 degrees altitude or so but at magnitude 0.66 I did not capture it in the brightening sky.
The SkyX Chart shows the situation.
