Venus on 27 February , surrounded by a halo.
In the picture ,the diameter of the ''Venusian'' halo is smaller than what I saw visually.
Visually ,the diameter of the halo was about half the length of a brick also visible in the picture.
Knowing the distance to the wall and the dimensions of a brick and  using the ''arctan'' function I found for the halo a diameter of 0,32 degree or 19 minutes of arc.




On 28 February Venus was close to the two days old Moon.




Trying to capture the Winter Hexagon  with Coolpix S3300 , I missed Capella.



On the 3-rd of March I took afocal pics of the Moon in the day light using my 90X600mm  RFT refractor  at 24x / Sirius Plossl 25mm +Coolpix S3300 + SV Bony Moon&Skyglow filter.



This is a ''day light'' picture  of the Moon taken with only the Coolpix S3300 camera.


In the dusk  of the same day the Moon , Mars and Venus were lined on the Western sky .


On 4 March the Moon was in conjunction with Aldebaran as recorded below by the Coolpix S3300 camera.


For visual and afocal pictures of the Moon I used that night my trusty RFT 90x600mm refractor made by ''zoth''.

On 13 March the Full Moon ,known as ''Worm Moon'' ,accompanied by Jupiter to the South , put up for a nice and colorful show !
