My neighbor called me to tell me to get off my sore butt and get outside to 
take a photo of the moon.  It was lined up with Jupiter slightly above and 
to the right, and bright star called Aldebaran that was slightly below and 
to the left.  I included some foreground for composition and more stars, 
including Orion.

I mistakenly had my camera set on jpeg, but it worked OK.

View Large, please.

Switched to the Leica 35-70 for a bit closer view that does not include much 
else.  Still left some foreground for reference, but does not include Orion.

Both turned out much darker on the gallery than in Lightroom.

Comments and criticism welcome.
