Never mind: cropped, a shot of Moon and Venus (Jupiter's now sunk down towards the horizon):

Moon & Venus
The moon, Venus, and Jupiter have been in excellent alignment over the last few weeks, culminating in their closest positions on 15th March. I saw that, but only got the camera out on 26th. Really, I need a longer lens to capture the moon at a decent size (something 750mm or longer, for frame-filling splendour), and my longest lens is only 125mm (and I don't have a tele-adaptor). I hanker after Sigma's 150-500 OS lens, and occasionally borrow Philip's 100-400 Canon (which is beautiful, but shorter and more expensive than the Sigma). I'd also love a proper telescope with camera adapter, admittedly.
