The conjunction of the decade: Moon, Jupiter & Venus

I ventured out this evening to have a look at one of the best conjunctions of recent memory, involving the crescent moon beside Jupiter, and above them Venus. I managed to get the MA5B minibeam plus my 5-el ZL special into the photo too!

      Mike, it's a pretty amazing sight. Tonight was even better in some ways with the Moon beside Venus this time. Fantastic.
