Crescent Moon and Venus tonight 2nd Jan Competion

[Gandahar]

Who can do the best?

Here's my starter for 10, er, 3



Using a rather old Canon power shot SX220 and putting it to manual, zoom on 14x full optical ( gulp) and whacking the ISO to 3200, bracing my arms, putting the aperture lowest as can be I am pretty impressed considering the camera and the photographer.

It did give me the chance to look outside and see a lovely British Winter evening sky . We really are blessed aren't we?

Can you snap this lovely sky in all it's glory?

Has Venus been eclipsed by the Thumbsnap logo?

Jodrell Bank's a radio telescope.

Why would you need a telescope to look at radios?

Pah! Amateur. I'm so flippin' good, I've actually removed the crescent entirely.

A bit abstract, but I quite like it...
