Young Moon, Mercury and Venus Setting
On 24 May the two day old crescent Moon, Venus and Mercury became visible in the evening sky half-an-hour after sunset despite the glare of a twilight arch. The Moon displaying bright Earthshine was then recorded setting alongside the southern slope of Transmitter Hill from 18.03 to 18.23 in a sequence of 250 stills and these were used to compile a beautiful x60 speed time-lapse animation which will be posted as a comment.
