Twilight planets

 These images were taken just after 9 pm MDT, at the end of Nautical Twilight.  The camera was an Olympus E-M1iii + Olympus 12mm f/2 lens with Hoya Softon and Sparkle-6 filters.  I was hoping for more photography later with a dark sky, but the clouds did not cooperate.

Venus at magnitude -3.9 is low over the Bristol Head ridgeline.  Jupiter is higher in the sky, shining at magnitude -2.0.  Above and to the right of Venus is the constellation Auriga and its brightest star Capella.
