Moon, Saturn and Sydney Tower

Hi all,

I grabbed this image of the conjunction of the moon and Saturn as they rose behind Sydney Tower yesterday evening.

Because of the low angle of the moon and Saturn, it didn't make much sense to try imaging at high resolution, so I decided to try and catch them with a foreground object.
Saturn is below and to the right of the moon, near the tower's cables.

This is a single exposure, 1/250th sec @ ISO280 with the Esprit 80 and Pentax K-5 DSLR. A higher-res version (if needed) is available here

Cheers,
Pete
