This is one of several frames I took trying to get a balance between the over-exposed bright Venus (magnitude -4.0) as it passed between the Crab Nebula (Messier 1) at magnitude 8.4 and Zeta Tau, magnitude 3.0. During this time lapse, the internal reflections created the blue arcs seen inside the larger reflection ring, first one and then another as the exposure progressed.
