This is the much publicized "planet parade" or "planet alignment" of April 2022, with four planets across the dawn sky this day, April 24. But from my latitude of 51° N the dawn sky was getting very bright by the time the lowest planet, Jupiter, rose. Only Venus was easily visible to the eye, but the camera picked up the other three. Even so I had to emphasize their appearance with a soft glow around each planet to make them stand out. This is a single 0.8-second exposure with the Canon Ra at ISO 100 and Canon RF 28-70mm lens at f/4 and 35mm focal length. Taken from home in southern Alberta.
This is the much publicized "planet parade" or "planet alignment" of April 2022, with four planets almost equally spaced this day (April 16) across the morning sky. But from my latitude of 51° N the dawn sky was getting very bright by the time the lowest planet, Jupiter, rose. Only Venus was visible to the eye, but the camera picked up the other three. Even so I had to emphasize their appearance with a soft glow around each planet to make them stand out. This is a single 1/5-second exposure with the Canon Ra at ISO 100 and Canon RF 28-70mm lens at f/4 and 43mm focal length. Taken from home in southern Alberta.
