Despite invading clouds, I had to try to glimpse a view of Venus, Neptune, and the Moon together in Edmonton's evening sky. Light pollution, Venus' glare, and clouds made Neptune difficult to view and photograph but the planet's signature blue was visible. Venus was bright enough to develop a striking halo and present diffraction spikes. The Moon, while not the focus of my viewing, was also a lovely sight being 9.1% illuminated, Earthshine was plainly visible.
