night sky, equinox

I took this picture last night.

I think that is Venus, near the top of the image. (Thank you, LightandMatter.com for the Planet Finder.)

Love this picture of the new moon in a clear blue sky.

Thanks!

I wasn't sure if I could get a reasonable shot of such far-away things in that low level of light.

I took about a dozen shots, and most of them had oblong Venuses (as my wobbly hands smeared the shot). I was glad to see this sharp one!
