What is the planet...Venus or Mars?

Post by FlyfishnFoto »

Hi,
I took this photo of the Milky Way with my E-M5 Mk 2 and the Laowa 7.5mm f2 lens at 04:11 on 5th Feb. Lat 38 degrees south.

Is the planet seen just above the horizon Venus or Mars?

I am sure Ben Chappell would be able to tell me but I dont have his e-mail.

Ian

Venus is the brighter of the 2. But I think it is Jupiter which is brighter than Venus and also near the horizon as soon it will be out of view. Jupiter is the only bright planet left in the sky now. Venus looks more like a star. I can find nothing buy Jupiter which would show up like that.
