Venus and Mercury conjunction 300mm single frame
This post was originally published on my old blog dedicated to amateur astronomy.
My great friend Terry F. reminded me just yesterday about the Venus/Mercury conjunction of today. I wasn’t hopeful at all due to the “rainy season” here in Northeast Brazil, all these days have been raining a lot. But even so I had set up the alarm to ring for it. Luck was on my side, I had a hole of clear sky among the clouds, just enough to see the two planets. It didn’t last long, but I was able to take some frames and elect one to be published.
So obviously special thanks to Terry F. and to Catarina Dantas.
