Photo taken the 21st of October at 5:30 h. UTC, with the incredibly sharp Sigma 50 Art lens, focusing and shooting with Live View touching-the-screen method. This JPEG is practically the same than the RAW file. The conversion was made with Capture One. During October 2015, there were several planetary conjunctions. A rare triple 180º alignment occurred the 20th of October. I was on a business trip that day so I was not able catch that perfect alignment. But I managed to take this nearly alignment the very next day in Madrid. Venus at the top, Jupiter in the middle and finally Mars, the red dot. Mercury is just above the horizon in the bottom left corner. Note the sharpness and neatness of the city skyline: Sigma 50 Art lens at its best. (File#: 2015-10-21 05.29.20)
