Venus shines as evening star after sunset in June. Below the brilliant planet is the pair of stars marking Gemini the Twins. At the top edge of this photo, which is a 6-second exposure with an 18mm lens by Kos Coronaios, is Regulus. The brighter star between Regulus and Venus is Saturn. Near the left edge of the frame is Procyon in Canis Minor.
