   Photographer:  Alessandra Masi
   Summary Author:  Alessandra Masi

   Featured above is the beautiful  conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn
   in the southwestern sky juxtaposed with the waxing  crescent Moon,
   in the southeast. At the time the photos were snapped,  the Moon was
   enshrouded by a  corona. Prominent at bottom center is the charming
   town of Pieve di Cadore (elevation of 2,880 ft or 878 m) in the heart
   of the  Dolomite range. It’s the birthplace of the famous painter,
    Tiziano Vecellio. Note that the  Sfornioi Nord mountain is in
   the background, at left.

   Photo Details: Canon 5D Mark III camera; 70/300 at 135. Sky – ISO from
   400-1000 and exposure from 0.8-3.0 seconds (to enhance the lunar corona
   and capture the details of Jupiter and Saturn). Landscape – ISO from
   320-400 and exposure from 5-114 seconds.
