I glanced outside and remembered that Venus is now rushing in toward conjunction, Mercury was nearby and the Moon should be putting in an appearance. So, I grabbed a camera and walked out into the field behind our house but I forgot to take a tripod so it was all handheld. I went for a shortish exposure and a higher ISO to try to avoid my wobbling hands messing things up. Mostly got away with it. Managed to get this at full zoom. Venus not a point source due to its large size today. Was a truly beautiful evening made nicer by a barn owl which swept across the field (but studiously keeping out the shot, alas).
