A Diamond Ring.

On 22nd February 2023, while I was capturing venus, jupiter and moon, a patch of thin cloud appeared and created a beautiful "Diamond Ring" effect on the moon. This diamond ring effect is most popularly concerned with a total solar eclipse. The thin cloud over the crescent moon made it appear like a rather large diamond ring!

In the frame, we also have Venus with a beautiful corona around it. In Indian astrology, diamond is considered to be the gemstone for Venus (coincidental!).
