That could be Jupita the sister planet of Jupiter. Maybe some others might chime in with an opinion.

Hi, this is definitely not the moon. The star in question or planet the bottom object. It has not been visible since. I am in the South Island of New Zealand I should have added this information into the OP.

Thanks for the info. Was a very nice sight.

Here's a visual for you to compare! Set to New Zealand. It makes sense why you haven't seen it since. That was pretty much the last day for Venus to be where it was to, with the moon combating dawn. Must have been between the 25th and 26th.


Link to software is below. It's great for taking out on a laptop while gazing, makes it more surreal.

I think the OP is claiming the bottom object was not the moon.

I'm sweating in anticipation of the "N" word. It's a common undercurrent in these the moon is weird/heavy mass object/stars getting brighter threads.

...Nib... I can't say it.

It's most definitely the moon all the same, matches up to a T for the date. If I saw an object that big that wasn't the moon, I would shat myself on the spot!

Totally cool pic. Moon was new (invisible) on the 23rd. It was 1st quarter on the 31st. So if you shot this 2 weeks ago on the 26th the moon would have been a slender crescent very close to the setting sun. Time of night?
