Moon,Spica And Arcturus

While photographing Venus and Jupiter on the beach in the evening breeze, a half-moon shone overhead.
Looking closely around the moon, I could see Arctus to the north, and looking even more intently, Spica just to the east of the moon.
I wanted to try and capture all three in one shot with my iPhone, so I took several photos with my iPhone 12.
I doubted whether Spica would show up because it was right next to the moon and even to the naked eye it was hidden within the moon's light rays, but when I opened the photos on my PC at home, I could see Spica in several of them. I then made some minor adjustments to the photo where Spica was most clearly visible.

Spica: Just above the moon in this photo
Arcturus: The brightest star to the upper right of the moon in this photo
Moon: Although it was a half-moon that day, the exposure needed to include the stars resulted in overexposure, making it look like a full moon.

夕涼みがてらのビーチでの金星と木星の撮影中に頭上に半月の月が輝いていた。

月の周りをよく見ると月の北寄りにArctutus、もっと目を凝らしてみると月のすぐ東隣にSpicaが見えた。

iPhoneでこの3つをOne Shotで撮れるのか試してみたくなり、iPhone12で何枚か撮影してみた。

Spicaは月のすぐ隣で肉眼でも月の光芒の中だったので写っているか疑問だったが、家でPCで開いてみたら数枚の写真でSpicaが確認できた。その中で一番Spicaが見える写真を少し調整してみた。

Spica：この写真の月のすぐ上

Arcturus：この写真の月から右上方向の一番明るい星

Moon：この日は半月だったが、星まで入れるための露出では明るさが飽和して満月のようになってる
