Yah - though i'm really wishing i had a tripod instead of the monopod - even with the IS and the monopod there's still shake/blur visible at 1/100s - but yah, 100mm let me get everything in there. I want to do a shot of the moon at 400mm - but I think i will definitely need a tripod - and i think there'll be limits to how much other interesting stuff i can get in there (unless i pay very close attention to when it is where on the horizon).
I missed that shot tonight, but luckily I have a simulator that lets me recreate it pretty well. I'm carrying my camera tonight, to see if I can get the shot.
Tonight the Moon and Venus will still be within flirting distance, but no kissing tonight; last night was the closest it gets for a while.
However, on the 28th, Saturn will be pretty close to the Moon in the sky, and the next night (the 1st), Saturn will be practically right on top of the Moon... only a few moon-widths away.
A bunch of us saw pretty much that same thing, a little lighter, on this coast last night. Lyo looked up and said, "it's the crow moon!" And here you are with my memory from yesterday.
