Wow - Venus and the Moon

[Multiveg]

Absolutely stunning tonight. Venus really really bright next to the crescent moon. Even attempted photographs of it (on digital camera, x12 optical and then with some digital zoom). Will upload tomorrow to my blog.

Is that Venus again tonight shining really brightly?

Great pic btw.

Yes popped out to empty bin and had to take a moment to have a look. The sky had a lovley dark blue look to it and the moon was just amazing.
