Title

Zodical light with planets line-up

About this image

The 3 planets line-up was amazing in this Bortle 2 village southern Morocco. The brightest object is Venus.

This is the 2nd time only I manage to capture Zodical light after sunset, the first was in 1978 when I joined, as University student, the site-testing team for the Iraqi Astronomical Observatory on Korek mountain.
