The two-day-old waxing crescent Moon with Earthshine, above Mercury at right, then 4 days past its greatest elongation from the Sun, in the evening sky of May 2, 2022. The star Aldebaran is at left, and below Mercury to the right is the Pleiades, just visible in the twilight and thin clouds.

This is a single 1.6-second exposure with the Canon RF28-70mm lens at 70mm and f/2.8 and Canon Ra at ISO 100. Taken from home in Alberta at 51° North latitude. A mild Orton glow effect added with Luminar Neo.
