Venus and Pleiades. Given our current Corona craziness, what a perfect time to look at the night sky. My original intention was to photograph Comet Atlas, but it's faintness was giving me difficulties. I turned away from this task to marvel at how beautiful Venus was and above her, Pleiades. Photographing with a 70-200 lens, I adjusted the focal length to give room for both. Venus lit up the wisps of clouds that were floating near her, giving them slightly iridescent colors.
