Moon-venus-m44-12-sep-2012

Hello all,

This is an image I have captured today at dawn.

In this image we can see the crescent Moon pairing up with the planet Venus.

In the vicinity of Venus, about 2½° south, you can catch a glimpse of the glorious M44, the Beehive Star Cluster.

Image details:

Canon EOS 450D, Canon EOS 24mm lens @ f/3.5, ISO 800, 15 sec exposure.
