Clear skies, finally! So, despite my long lingering head cold, I woke up really early to
view this close encounter between the planets Venus and Uranus.
Here is a link with more info : http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2006/11apr_george.htm

Now, I believe this to be Uranus, but don't hold it against me if it isn't.
The inset was shot with the Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D ED VR AF with just a tripod.
1.3s, f/5.6 at 400mm

And since I was up, I watched the 100 year aniversary of the disatrous 1906 San Francisco Earthquake.
