Re: December 21, 2021 - which planet?
You will immediately realize the pic cannot have been taken on
Then you can try to figure out the correct time the pic was taken. Which in your case is easy because you used a camera which records the date in the image. If you look at the properties of your pic on a computer you will see that it was actually taken on

Re: December 19, 2021 - which planet?
I've been pretty tired the last few days, so I guess that's my only excuse for calling the thread "December 21." I probably inadvertently put "21" of "2021" into the title instead of "19." I changed it. Oh well.
Thank you for the tips and advice. Obviously, I'm very new to this, but trying to learn.
Using the web version of Stellarium (I will likely download the Windows version as well), entering that date and time does show Venus above the moon that night at a -4.56 magnitude. Saturn and Jupiter were also out, but the other, wider pictures don't show them, but the skies looked pretty cloudy further up in the sky, or maybe just light pollution obscured them?
