About this image

A zoomed and cropped camera view of the two day old crescent Moon with Venus to its right - take with a rather restricted view from our garden just before the street lights came on. Unfortunately after a clear day a bank of cloud rolled in from the east and I was unable to get an image when it was dark enough to record Saturn, lying to the right of Venus.
