    Venus is on the move as it passes The Pleiades. Still some high clouds in the air but I managed to get a few clear shots. The Pleiades has been known as "The Chief's Eyes" to the Polynesians, "The Market" to the Mexica/Aztec, and "The Flock" to the Ancient Egyptians:

    Thanks, SJ! I was fortunate to have had mostly clear skies the last few nights. This lockdown has given me more time to spend under the skies (I get to stay up late)!
