Here's #Venus again #tonight but my attention was also drawn to some of the faint stars around it. At about the 10:30 position is #PsiSagittarii which has an #ApparentMagnitude of 4.85 at a distance of nearly 300 #LightYears. The other one which is currently closer to the #planet and at about the 9:30 position is #HIP94434 with an apparent magnitude of 5.75 and is about 1700 light years distant. Thanks to #Stellarium for providing the data. It's amazing that such dim stars can be seen with a non-specialist #lens and #camera.
