Title: Venus and the Seven Sisters
I took this photo up on the roofdeck of our condo building on a warm April night.
Facing WNW, I can see beautiful Venus brightly shining with all her glory and accompanied by The Seven Sisters sparkling like diamonds in the Pleiades together in a cosmic dance.
Having no telescope, I resorted using the Afocal Method by attaching my Samsung Note 8 (with thick rubber bands) to one of the eyepiece of the Pentax binocular and using a bluetooth remote to shoot the photo.
Hope you'll like it. 😊
