Good morning everyone,
Earlier today (Tuesday 19th), at around 10:00 UTC I took the attached picture from Miramar, Florida.
The beauty about this picture is to see how close the moon and the planets follow the ecliptic line in the sky.
By the way, these were the declinations at that time in the morning:
Moon: N 28 03.7
Venus: N 21 01.5
Jupiter: N 22 29.1
Mercury: N/A
Thanks !
