Image Details:

For the last 3 months, moon and venus had come in the vicinity of one another, presenting a wonderful view for all of us. I recorded their presence for the last 3 months and created this collage.The top image is from 22nd February 2023, with a wonderful "diamond ring" effect on the crescent moon due to thin clouds.
The middle image is from 24th March 2023 when the moon occulted venus. The image was recorded at the time of venus' reappearance.
The bottom image was captured on 23rd April 2023, this time with tracked exposure to catch some details of the earthshine part of the moon.
