Post conjunction

 Venus and Jupiter are slowly separating.  Last night they were 2.76° apart and Venus is now above Jupiter as they set.  

Venus (top) and Jupiter (below)

 

Three of Jupiter's moons are visible: Ganymede, Europa, and Callisto.

Europa (second from left) is actually the combined image of Europa and Io, which were very close together.  These images were all obtained with the Olympus 40-150mm f/4 lens.

 

 As twilight fades the giant globular cluster Omega Centauri is still visible low (very low) in the south.

 

  

 These two images were obtained with a Rokinon 135mm f/2 lens on an Olympus E-M5iii camera.

 

Omega Centauri is estimated to contain 10 million stars and has a diameter of about 170 ly.
