Skies Finally Open – Late Crescent Moon, May 2022

May 8, 2022

Starlog August 13th, 2021, 8:22 p.m. local time

Earlier this week, I intentionally rerouted my evening walk so I could get a better perspective on both the Moon and Venus.  This picture is framed by a school and trees which begin to mark the residential area.  You can see that even with a spattering of clouds, the second and third-brightest objects in the sky were clearly visible.

I did more post-processing on this picture than I normally do, as I wanted to ensure Venus was properly shown relative to the darkening sky and Moon’s brightness.  A best-guess approximation, you may call it.


Picture taken with my iPhone and post-processed in PaintShop Pro.

Trees and Planets and Light Pollution

I have been fascinated by space since childhood. My interest in technology also runs deep, rooted in fond memories of the CRT-anchored desktops my father tinkered with in the early 1980s. Professionally, I have spent over 30 years immersed in the technology sector, serving in capacities ranging from programming and IT to project management. Outside of work, my passions lie in astrophotography, astronomy, and philosophy. At my blog, I explore these interests, and I hope you will join the conversation.
