Venus like the Christmas Star
I took these two (I made my photographic work from them) photos in two different December 2021 dates (in the evening sky and — in the daytime sky), from my small homeland (in Yuzhno-Morskoy, near Nakhodka) in Primorsky Krai, Russia, using mobile phone camera.
One of them (taken on 2021/12/12) shows the planet Venus in an evening twilight sky inside a glowing «stars» (holiday illumination for street decoration before New Year).
The second (taken on 2021/12/21) shows crescent Venus in the daytime sky, through the eyepiece of 60mm refractor.
