VENUS AND THE PLEIADES Taken by Steven Rosenow on April 3, 2020 @ Shelton, Washington, USA

Venus danced wonderfully across the Pleiades open star cluster tonight. Clear skies this evening across the Puget Sound area afforded skywatchers and astronomers alike a great chance to witness this once-in-eight-year event. Captured using an 80mm Meade Series 5000 APO refractor and a Nikon D5500 DSLR.
