December 1, 2008 Moon, Venus & Jupiter Conjunction

Hello:

The Trio conjunction of the Crescent Moon together with close planetary pair Venus and Jupiter pose a very good opportunity for astrophotographers to image them after sunset. I was able to image the conjunction but one of my images that Im sharing shows a "Witch Head" like cloud with the Moon acting as her Chin Ring while Venus (left) acts as a light reflection of Jupiter (right) on her left eye :) LOL Image was taken using a compact Canon 650IS digital camera at 210mm f/4.8 at ISO400. Exposure was 2 secs.
