Two crescents

Venus(l) and the Moon(r) were visible close together on the evening of 2nd January. both showing a very similar crescent phase at the same time. not a very common sight. Venus shows phases like the Moon as it lies within the Earth's orbit. Venus, roughly four times the diameter of the Moon, was about 100 times farther away than the Moon(50 million kilometers) at the time. shot with a 400mm lens(cropped).

Venus Transit

shot the transit of venus from Delhi. if you missed it, you can catch the next one in December of 2117. the image on top has been shot through a solar telescope. it has also appeared on the front page of Hindustan Times. some more coverage and a video also here.

Celestial Smiley

Jupiter, Venus and Moon send a text message on December 1st. shot these from the Old Fort in Delhi. emperor Humayun died after he fell from the steps of his library(3rd pic). apparently he was watching Venus when he got distracted and lost his footing.
the last photo is a combination of 30 shots taken everyday for a month (from the same place and time of the day) showing the movements of the planets and moon over a period of a month before the smiley. this was an experiment done by a dedicated group of amateur astronomers from Delhi, which i was a part of.
