Waxing Moon, Venus and Porrima in Volcanic Sunset.

On Thursday 5th September, the waxing crescent Moon was visible above a bright volcanic sunset twilight arch at 5.59 pm followed by Venus at 6.04 and the Virgo star Porrima close by at 6.10 pm. Later as the light faded all three were captured descending towards the summit of Murahwa Mountain in an animation produced from 142 consecutive four second exposure images taken between 6.22 and 6.49 pm. This will be presented later as a Disqus comment.
