Evening trio - The crescent moon, Venus, and the Pleiades...in three views as twilight progresses.

First view captures the moon and Venus, but it was still too bright for the Pleiades. The band of orange-yellow twilight sky gives lots of contrast to the rest of the sky.

Second view is a close look at Venus and the moon. Earthshine is obvious on the rest of the moon's disk.

Third view captures the blue stars of the Pleiades as twilight gets darker.

Sunset this evening featured a crescent moon and Venus. A really beautiful site.

Another numerically abysmal night, but of the three #moth visitors, at least one was a first sighting in 2026 for me.

LUNAR MARBLED BROWN
Drymonia ruficornis

Note the moon-shaped crescents on its wings, from where it gets its name. Common in southern UK.
