I’m sure many of you are enjoying the beautiful conjunction between Venus and the Pleiades star cluster (M45) in Taurus happening these days. Friends and superb astroimagers Imelda Joson and Edwin Aguirre captured the view from their driveway in the Boston suburbs last night. The couple used a Canon EOS 7D DSLR camera, a 100-400mm lens, and a 1-second exposure.

What a beautiful view!
