View on the horizon tonight July 20th at approximately 9 p.m. In Leo: Regulus, the Moon (little sickle), Venus, Mars and Mercury

It’s hard to frame them all in the same shot for several reasons:

– very low on the horizon

– Al-Hilal by only 10%
– Shortly after sunset and twilight light can still be effective
With the exception of Mercury, the four stars: Regulus, Moon, Mars and Venus will be found in a part of the sky of about 7 square degrees. Good enough for one shot.

A clear horizon is necessary. At 20.50 Venus will be only 10 degrees higher on the horizon, and the others will also gradually tend lower.
