Three Planets (and a moon)

The skies were rather crowded toward the southwest Monday evening, December 6, 2021, with three visible planets in alignment, and joined by a waxing crescent moon. The above image was captured at 5:23 pm CST from the grounds at Noelridge Christian Church in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Temperature was 16 degrees F, with very breezy conditions, and my exposed hands while taking several pictures grew numb very quickly! The planets were, from top-to-bottom: Jupiter (magnitude -2.26), Saturn (magnitude 0.70), and Venus (magnitude -4.66). Despite the apparent closeness from the terrestrial observer, Jupiter was 487.8 million miles distant, Saturn was 921 million miles, and Venus was 67 million miles. Image is a 1 second exposure at f/4, ISO 250, 24mm focal length. Nikon D7200 DSLR camera.
