Venus Occultation Egress Sketch by Dreidre Kelleghan
"As it got darker more and more detail became visible on the crescent moon. Between finishing the Venus vanishing sketch and the reemergence of Venus I put as much lunar detail as possible in the time and under the conditions as I could. The view as Venus once again sparkled like a diamond stuck on the moon was stunning."
