The Moon and Venus


Happy New Year's Eve everyone!

Tonight the Moon and Venus put on quite a show right after sunset. Venus was very bright and dangling right below the lovely crescent moon. It was extremely windy and cold, but I went outside with my Canon 30D and the Tamron 28-200mm zoom to grab this shot.

Excellent shot, Ambrose. At approximately the same time you took this excellent shot, I was watching the terminator cross over Rosse, running right down the middle of Mare Nectaris. Keep it up! You might want come up with a great submission for Charles A. Wood over at LPOD.

Happy New Year!
