Nice conjunction tonight

The Moon and Venus were in conjunction tonight and they put on a gorgeous display. Here is a reduced size JPG of a photo I took -- 450MM lens @ F11, 2.5 Seconds at ASA250. The lens is an older design so you get some staring artifacts on Venus. Earthshine shows up very clearly -- with all the snowfall, this planet has a very high Albedo.
