Last night we were treated to the Waxing Crescent Moon cozying up to the Pleiades star cluster just after sunset.

A low cloud was kind enough to pass in front of the moon when I took this photo, dimming its glow and revealing the line of craters while the unobscured stars were still shining brightly.

A quick heads-up that tomorrow there is a #LunarOccultation of #M45 #thePleiades visible from the UK. The #CrescentMoon shouldn't overpower the cluster too much. If you have binoculars it will look even better!

Went into my garden today with the #OM1MarkII and the #OMSystem 100-400 mm f/5-6.3 beast to see how it would do when shooting the moon using the tripod high res mode at 80 megapixels.

It gives a lot of latitude for cropping without losing too much resolution. I was able to get this framing which at a 100 per cent would be at 3000 x 3000 pixels.

Evening. #dusk #crescentmoon #winnipeg #evening

Picked up the OM 100-400 mm f/5-6.3 beast during the amazing 35 per cent off refurbished sale which #OMSystem did at the beginning of the year, and decided to see what it could do now that I finally have a clear night with a sliver of the waxing crescent moon.

And... wow! The 800 mm full frame equivalent reach is just... <3

This evening, brightly shining Venus was joined by a large, gorgeous crescent Moon https://www.flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_gazette/54358892174/in/photostream/

Overjoyed by the Beauty of the Moon

I love crescent moons.

Cleaning out my phone photos, found this one from early December. The crescent moon and the trees. Yes, there were still leaves on some oak trees that recently. It's been a strange autumn/winter.

Look up tonight to see the crescent Moon hanging right below Venus!

Throughout December, keep an eye out for the "Winter Triangle" of stars, and spot the Geminid meteor shower, which will peak in the early morning of Dec. 14
