Startrails software was used to composite the Sun, Moon, Venus and Mercury tracks and foreground.

Trajectories of the Sun, Moon, Venus and Mercury on the ecliptic plane on December 24, 2022.
On December 24, 2022, Venus, Mercury and the very thin crescent moon that is about to set form a triangle. The moon is only 1.1 days old and 1.4% illuminated. It took me ages to find this super-slim crescent moon in the orange twilight! The trajectories presented through continuous shooting hope to show their movement on the ecliptic plane. The very thin crescent Moon is only 4 minutes to shoot. They are in the lower center of the photo, and you have to look very hard to find the trail of this crescent Moon.
Sun trajectory: 04:19 ~05:04 pm, altitude angle: 9.2° down to 0.8°

Venus trajectory: 17:46 ~18:09, altitude angle: 5.5° down to 1.1°
