Nikon D5600 with a Tamron 70-300mm lens, set at 185mm. The camera was set on manual, with an exposure of 1/1.3 seconds at F8. The ISO was 8000.
Cropped for size.
With all the attention focused on the morning planetary line-up, I caught a last glimpse of the Winter constellations and star clusters. Mercury and the Pleiades were low on the horizon in the evening haze. Because of this I was not able to increase my exposure time without getting a lot of noise in the photo. In one of my photos I thought I may have captured the comet PanSTARRS, but it was very faint.
