Widefield Venus and Earthshine moon

[Ant]

Managed to get out again... not sure quite whats going on. Thats about 5 or 6 sessions THIS WEEK ALONE.

That in itself must be some sort of record, at least for me  .

Took back out to the road that we went to the other evening, and set up in a little dirt area barely big enough for the car. 

Saw the horses and swans again, and of course a lovely crescent moon and Venus. The amazing sky of the previous night had gone, but it was still quite spectacular. I wonder if people really know what they are missing. Although on the way home I did pass three people standing on their doorstep pointing at the moon and venus (well in that direction anyway). 

Took lots of images, this was the best of the widefield shots. Taken with the 450D and 55-250 zoom @ 55mm, ISO 800. 1 second exposure taken on a static camera tripod. 

Thanks for looking, Ant
