This is the gathering on the evening of April 22, 2023 of the waxing crescent Moon below Venus and near the Hyades star cluster in Taurus. The dim Earthshine is visible on the dark side of the Moon. High cloud added the natural glows on the Moon and Venus. This is a stack of 7 exposures, from 1/80 to seconds, at one stop intervals for an "HDR" blend, all with the Canon RF135mm lens at f/2 on the Canon R5 at ISO 400, untracked. Exposures blended with luminosity masks not HDR software.
