Couldn't pass this one up! This picture don't quite capture what I saw but it was pretty awesome! The waxing crescent moon with Venus just above it and the planet Jupiter to the far right. And the little white dot highest in the picture I believe is Regulus, the brightest star in the constellation Leo the Lion, which is supposed to be the 'heart' of the lion. Wasn't ready for this, just pulled over in the parking lot at the foot of Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina and took a shot. Hand held, f/5, 1/80 speed and 1250 ISO @ 150 mm. Didn't see any thing but the Moon and Venus when I took this shot.
