Was sorting out the picture directory on the computer last night and came across these images hidden in the dark recesses of my hard drive.

These were taken before the word 'astrophotography' had even entered my vocabulary with a camera I borrowed from work (Nikon Coolpix 990/995).

The wide shot shows the moon passing Venus with Mars right of centre at the top. The second shot is a close up of the Moon and Venus at what was probably full digital zoom.
