The Moon midway between Saturn (bottom-left) and Regulus (top-right), on Tuesday evening. The bright star at far right is Algieba (gamma Leonis). Eta Leonis lies near the centre of the frame. The images are slightly trailed because the exposure was four seconds long (F=96mm, f/5.6).

(l.t.r.) Venus, Saturn, and our Moon. Eight-and-a-quarter degrees separate the Evening Star from Saturn this evening; by month's end, the two will approach to within three-quarters of a degree.
