Venus and Jupiter in close conjunction and having just risen on the morning of November 13, 2017, from home in Alberta. The two planets were about 20 arc minutes apart this morning. This is a 2-segment panorama with the 200mm lens at f/2.8 and Canon 60Da camera at ISO 400 and for 0.4 seconds.
The three inner rocky or terrestrial planets together in the dawn sky on the morning of September 18, 2017, shot from home. Venus is brightest at top, above the star Regulus in Leo. The waning crescent Moon with Earthshine on it is at centre, and below it are faint Mars and brighter Mercury, on either side of some dark cloud. Mercury was a week past its date of greatest western elongation. The fourth rocky planet is in the photo as well - Earth! This is a single 2-second shot with the Rokinon 85mm lens at f/2.8 and Canon 6D MkII at ISO 400.
