Moon Venus conjunction from the 27th Feb

These two make a very nice pairing.  Unfortunately I had to go out early evening so didn't get them any closer together.

You can even see that Venus is a semi-crescent. Nice image Robert.

Thanks Mike.  Venus is mega over exposed so I think I should have either done two different exposure settings or used exposure bracketing - will try to remember for next time !
