Venus in Taurus with the open clusters The Hyades (left) and The Pleiades (M45) just to the right of the planet Venus in April 2023.

Venus was nicely placed in Taurus after sunset on April 11, 2023. I took this shot of the Hyades open cluster directly above the tree on the left, a satellite passing above bright Venus and the Pleiades (M45) or the Seven Sisters just to Venus’ right. This was taken with a Nikon D5100 ISO 1600 at 55mm, f/5.6 and a 4 second exposure.
