Equipment Details:

Canon EOS 600D + SIGMA 60-600mm F4.5-6.3 S DG OS HSM Sports

Post-processing Details:

Use PowerPoint to copy the Venus images and arrange them in a row on the diameter of the moon, and compare their sizes.

Image Details:

Recently, Venus is getting closer to the earth, and its apparent diameter is getting larger and larger. This photo was taken on December 7 with the same focal length of Venus and Crescent Moon. The apparent diameters of Venus and Moon are 43.0" and 32'55.7”, respectively. That is to say, the moon looks about 46 times the size of Venus. I copied the images of Venus and placed them in a row on the diameter of the moon. Just 46 Venus images are needed!
