Crescent Moon with Mercury - For Tanya
Waxing Crescent Moon with Mercury in Sagittarius
Moon is 6% illuminated - 2 days, 5 hrs, 11 mins; Mercury is at bottom right corner; star to Mercury's left is kaus borealis; two stars in upper-right corner are V2 and V1 Sgr; star at right of Moon is 30 Sgr
If you look real close about halfway between Mercury and the Moon, you can see the globular cluster M22.
This image is dedicated to a very dear friend who lost her life, with all its glorious sunsets, 27 years ago today.
