Moon and Venus tonight, 31 Oct

[StephenM]

Hi All,

Nice clear skies this evening, and a possible storm forecast for tomorrow, so I decided to take the opportunity to grab few shots. The first shows a young Moon and Venus (with Antares in the middle), and the second is wider angle and includes Jupiter as well, plus a plane that happened to fly past during the exposure!

The Moon and Venus will be closer tomorrow, so look out for them if the evening is clear!

Cheers,
Stephen

[StephenM]

Thanks Jen.

I forgot to give the details. The camera is a Pentax K100D digital SLR. The first image was a 6 sec exposure with a 70-300mm lens set on 93mm, while the second was a 70 sec exposure with an 18-50mm lens set on 23mm. Both were at f/4.5 and 200 iso.

Cheers,
Stephen
