Venus Crescent Moon

Tucson, AZ

Catching a conjunction early this morning. The Earthshine on
the Moon was beautiful to see in the dimly lit morning sky. I
would have liked to try to catch some different exposures but
it was the first freezing night of the season and a bit too cold
for my thin blood.

I went out about an hour after sunrise and located the pair again:

Canon EOS 7D ,Canon EF 300mm f/4L IS USM
tripod, remote cable release, mirror lockup full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Fabulous close capture of this Earthshine Moon and Venus. Nice find of the daylight pair.

Nice Sam.
Your shot proves some light theory I've been recently reading; that the crescent appears larger than the sphere.
