Can anyone else go outside and take shoot some decent local photos of tonight's Venus-Moon event with your DSLR?

Please NO Interweb photos, ONLY originals from your local view, thanks!

I know it’s the moon and Venus but the nerd part of me saw Pac-Man eating a Pac-Dot.

I was just about to search for a Pac-Man graphic when I read your post. I guess I’m a nerd, too.

****thanks, I wondered what star/planet that was...****

A great program to follow along with stellar events is Stellarium. I was able to identify Venus, Jupiter, Antares and Spica while I watched the Venus/Moon event tonight.

Dang, I saw it excellently while it was still daylight, which was pretty cool, driving home this afternoon.

as the early evening progressed, the west coast ‘sky dust’

Had that here in the Appalachians.

Moon was bright orange and huge on the horizon.

Awesome.
