The two-day old crescent moon, brilliant Venus above, and faint Mercury below...

...and the progression of evening twilight.

First photo is taken during the 'blue hour'

In the second photo the planets sink closer to the horizon and some red hues appear in the bottom of the frame.

The third photo is almost in full night, but some dark red is still there along the bottom of the frame.

A deep blue twilight sky. It's dark enough that earthshine on the moon's disk is obvious. Venus is upper right. Mercury, fainter, is near the bottom and a bit left of center.
In darker twilight the planets are closer to the west horizon. Some red hues are along the bottom of the frame.
It's nearly full night and the sky is pretty dark. A good number of stars of Pisces are visible. Subdued brick-red hues are in the bottom of the frame.

On the evening of the 28th I'll try to get a view of the 1-day-old crescent moon near Mercury. That will be a bit of a challenge shortly after sunset. (Venus is super bright and high...a helpful guide to where to look) See screenshot.

1 March, the moon will be much easier to see, and close to brilliant Venus.

I use Stellarium software to figure out which evenings have interesting groupings of the moon and bright planets.

That weather forecast...that's often the sticky wicket.

Evening sky, 28 Feb. Moon and Mercury will be a challenging pair, low in bright twilight.

A 2-1/2 day old crescent moon, and Saturn, float among the stars of Aquarius in evening twilight.

Saturn is the brightest 'star' in the upper left portion of the frame.

Top center of the frame is the star φ Aquarii.

A few other stars of Aquarius are visible, including some that are very close to the moon's disk.

A 2-1/2 day old crescent moon, and Saturn, float among the stars of Aquarius in the dark purple of evening twilight. Saturn is the brightest 'star' in the upper left portion of the frame. Top center of the frame is the star φ Aquarii. A few other stars of Aquarius are visible, including some that are very close to the moon's disk. The sunlit portion of the moon is overexposed and featureless white. Earthshine on the rest of the moon's disk is easily visible.

#Disque du jour, bonjour !

#Crescent • Electronic Sound Construction (Snapshot Records, 1997)

Cet album fait partie de mon top 3. Autant vous dire que c'est une véritable perle. Réalisé par Matt Jones, seul membre de Crescent sur ce disque, dans ses divagations #experimental, #abstract, et son amour immodéré pour les boucles analogiques, vieux instruments et autres bricolages sonores. Un disque brillant, où l'on retient son souffle à chaque instant, une véritable plongée dans un univers à part entière.
