Moon in Pleiades, and a conjunction.

Headed down the beach to capture some pics of the Moon and Mercury, and maybe a comet.
The only bit of cloud cover in the sky was the area I wanted!! Had to wait for the crescent Moon to rise a bit more before I took some pics.
Thought I got some Ok shots, but when I downloaded them I found that the Moon was embedded in the Pleiades, and I hadnt known!!
Also lucky to get some my first Iridium flare, and didnt know I had that either.
Also, the dog and his owner were out for their usual stroll.
Apologies for the bit off focusing in a couple.
