This was a quite striking sight as Venus and Regulus rose over the foothills. This close conjunction is a once in 8 year event. The separation of Venus and Regulus at this location was one Lunar diameter by comparison with the full Harvest Moon. These two images show the Venus and Regulus rising over the Tucson AZ foothills. The Left image was captured with a Nikon D850 and a Nikon 105 mm F1.4 lens. The right image is a stack of 2500 video frames captured with a Questar telescope and a Nikon D850. The Questar duplex was mounted on a Vixen SXP mount.
