Time lapses astronomy Venus Sagittarius

Among the cloudy and rainy days I finally have a glimpse again.

Venus is now clearly in the "Tea Pot", extremely close to one of the three stars of the lid.

Sagittarius, yes, is the destination of this round of East elongation.

Having past her greatest elongation on 30 October (the Sun is now catching up with her) Venus has slowed and will finally turn around in mid December.

However, then comes her big moments - a staggering greatest brightness of magnitude -4.7 on 8 December.
