In late 2005 and early 2006, Venus passed through inferior conjunction in northeastern Sagittarius, right around the time that my daughter Christa was
born, so this is probably the first astro-image I captured after her arrival.  Compare this scene to early 2022, two 8-year cycles (16 years) after this
event in January 2006.  At the time of this picture on slide film, we capture Venus near the stationary point in its orbit ~ after this date, it resumes
eastward motion against the stars.
