Planetary Alignment

I took notice of this planetary alignment some days prior to it but wasn't expecting it to be visible over the constant weather changes occurring lately. I decided on a nearby place, where I knew I could have a clear view of the horizon, and this viewpoint is elevated enough for it.

I couldn't be there just after sunset, so I wasn't able to have Saturn, Neptune and Mercury in frame. I realized there was so much more happening in the night sky that I had to do a panorama and try as well to have the winter millkyway arch in frame, despite the surrounding light pollution.

In the end, I thought it would be useful to subtitle what we're viewing here and ended up spending quite some time after processing the image, figuring out where each sky object was, for pure enjoyment.
