    I thought Mercury was below the horizon at this time.
    I love when you can see the Moon like this and the sky still barely lit by the sun, helps give great perspective of The Sun, Moon & Earths position in the system. I stood looking for a good while tonight.

    Yep the object below the moon is Aldebaran, the brightest star in the constellation Taurus. Lovely shot tho.

    And mine, complete new & untouched by filters or software, actually the 4th photo in my new hobby...just resized due to attachment restrictions in size.
    What excitement...
