I saw the moon/venus combinatino out the car window the night before
but my camera was miles away. The moon and venus were sitting up there
in a Pepsi can blue, absolutely clear sky, right next to each other.
Tonight the moon was in one place, venus in another, and there were clouds.
I used my usual: 40D, 400mm, 2x extender, tripod, DSLR Remote Pro and laptop
all on the deck at about 20 degrees..

For (no) comparision, check out this guy's amazing shot:
