Jupiter, moon and venus

Did anyone catch the lovely triangle of Jupiter, above the waning crescent moon, with venus to the lower right, this morning at around 4:30-5am?

I took my camera and tripod in the car with me on the way to work, and found a nice spot to take some pictures of it on teh side of the road.. except some damn powerlines will probably spoil most of the shots.

I'll download them off the camera when I get home tonight and post the results up tomorrow!

I missed the venus/jupiter conjunction last week (clouds ) so i was glad to catch this nice grouping.. was fully expecting it to be clouded out this morning as well, but when I woke up, went outside and looked up, saw Saturn and lots of patchy clouds, but took a risk and although there was a lot of clouds about, I did get a few shots where 1 of the 3 wasn't behind a cloud
