In the conjunction of Venus and Mars this morning, Venus rose 6º 34′ north of Mars. When I went out at 5:30 am Venus had risen above the trees, but Mars was still in the tress with two stars.

Gorgeous pictures Timothy.
Thanks, Gabriela.
My pleasure Timothy. Hugs to everyone and Happy Valentine’s Day.
Happy Valentine’s Day.
Wow this is fascinating how the increments of time shift quickly!💖
The light changes very fast. I did all those photos with my iPhone 13. Thanks, Cindy.
Wonderful pics, Tim. The last one is such a fantastic shot.
Thanks, Jeff.
Most welcome, Tim.
That’s wonderful, Tim. You sure know your planets! And I love how you captured their movements.
Thanks, Dale. I’ve been watching for Mars for a while, but by the time it was above the trees it was too light to see it. It’s still pretty far and faint right now. Venus has been super bright.
Still… I am duly impressed!
Glad someone took pictures of this so I could experience it – way too early for me!
I happy you got to see it. Thanks, Brian.
What an adventurous record! Thanks for sharing. I love stars too.
You are welcome, Lamittan. Thanks for dropping by. Astronomy is a lot of fun.
Indeed, Tim! You’re very much welcome.
Great shots of that moon in motion. 🌸
That’s Venus looking like the moon. Amazing isn’t it? Venus has been super bright. Thanks, Holly.
She quite visible. Great shots!
Venus is so beautiful in the morning.
I’ll have to find her some morning when I’m out there!
I was scrolling through my reader thinking ..No TImothy… NO TIMOTHY and then there you were and with this wonderful post too.
Surprise! Thanks, Shey.
I bet the painter is really jealous of you!!! Thank you, my friend! 🌟🙏
You are welcome, Marina. Fortunately, the painter was sleeping in.
He knew he left creativity in good hands! 😉
These are wonderful pictures Tim. My night photography rarely works!
You need an iPhone 13. They have LiDAR which is the nigh vision radar used in self driving cars and other things. Thanks, Miriam.
Oh dear, I have one! But it’s new … think I need to investigate the camera a bit more closely!
It does great at night. My wife finally upgraded to an iPhone 13 and now she’s wowing her family with the lowlight shots and videos of the cranes.
Ok, now you’ve really convinced me. I need to practice! 😂
I will look for Mars tomorrow morning. The eastern ridge does block some viewing.
Mars is pretty faint right now.
Incredible images, Tim! Our skies have been really clear lately, but we just can’t see what you see!
You have a lot more light pollution. Thanks, Tiffany.
Amazing Pictures! The sky is so beautiful when we choose to look up😁
It certainly is. Thanks, Josh.
Gorgeous! Happy Valentine’s Day to you all!
Thanks, Cindy. Happy Valentine’s Day.
It’s fab that Gi and my trees are close enough to share the stars and planets!
They are pals. Thanks, Resa.

I love these shots of both Venus and the moon. Do you stay up all night when you do photography like this Tim? Just so beautiful, it was nice to see the movement at different times. Gorgeous!
Thanks, Joni. Venus looks like the moon and Mars is below Venus to the left.
Amazing Tim. You are the super star then. ❤️🤗💕🎈
