Moon & Venus Crescents - both illuminated 26-27%
This is a composite image.
Shot this wonderful celestial coincidence last evening from Singapore, and it was almost spoilt by the weather. Managed to shoot, through the clouds, the Moon and Venus as crescents at almost the same illumination: 26-27%. The composite image juxtaposes them for visual appeal as well as for comparison.
Moon: 26.4% Waxing Crescent
Venus: 27.1% Waning Crescent
