About this image

My final image (of not that many) from the 2021/22 eastern apparition of Venus. Making the most of the morning sunshine before the cloud moved in and the wind picked up.

Just 5° from the Sun - will be only slightly nearer tomorrow with Inferior Conjunction tomorrow pm. Horn extensions just visible here.
