crescent moon and venus shining over my neighborhood of nottingham at the end of last month. lovely!

venus is to the lower right of the moon, although its a bit tough to spot in the small versions of the photos! oh well.

can't see venus in the pics :( but i did spot her myself from my back yard. brilliantly beautiful! thanks to astropixie i knew what planet it was and happily informed my friends. do love your hood tho.
It's amazing how freaking bright Venus is. I took some pics myself from Pasadena a while ago. Andrea and I actually saw the Moon-Venus-Mercury "alignment" around new year's when we were driving in Arizona. I'm glad I'm not the only astronomer who still enjoys these sights :-)
