OLD MOON AND VENUS Taken by Dewey Vanderhoff on August 19, 2017 @ Cody , Wyoming USA



Two days before its lead role in the Great American Eclipse of 2017 , the Moon made a fine appearance in the pre-dawn skies of Wyoming alongside morning planet Venus. Wildfire smoke in western American skies add a ruddy color to the atmosphere.
Two mornings later the shadow of the New Moon will race diagonally across Wyoming. Centerline of totality is 125 miles south of my town of Cody.
Exposure for this photo was 2 seconds at f/2.8 at ISO 1600 using a 30 year old manual focus Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 lens on a Nikon D5300 dslr.
