Details:
This is the line of worlds in Leo on the morning of November 2, 2026. The waning crescent Moon, 23-days old, is just below reddish Mars. At centre is bright Jupiter flanked by three of its large moons to the east (left) of the planet. At lower left is Regulus, the brightest star in Leo. The Moon's dark side is lit by Earthshine.
Mars was moving toward Jupiter for a close conjunction between them on November 15-16, 2026.
This was at about 7 am MDT (Alberta has not switched back to Standard Time this year) with the sky brightening with blue twilight and the Moon and planets high in the south.
This is a blend of multiple exposures to compress the high dynamic range in brightness to create an image more like the eye saw it, but that the camera cannot capture in a single exposure.
Technical:
This is a blend of 12 exposures from 13 seconds for the main sky, stars and planets, to as short as 1/125 second for the daylight side of the Moon, taken at 1-stop intervals in rapid succession in auto-bracketed sets, all with the Canon RF135mm at f/2 and Canon R5 at ISO 100, on the Star Adventurer 2i tracker.
Blended with Lights2 luminosity masks created with the Lumenzia extension panel in Photoshop, but with additional hand work to tweak the blending.
