lucky for me i had my trusty camera with my little white lens and my very cool tripod.
right then and there, on the sidewalk, with people looking at me like i was nuts, i took a bunch of shots. it was the blue hour and the earthshine was bright.
when i got home, i hooked up the camera to my laptop and tried remote live view to focus tighter. there was a slight haze in the sky but i did get the crescent venus!
and a crop on the moon:
man, i gotta get myself a bigger lens.
EDIT: see jon shock's version over santiago!
all about this astronomical event at the bad astronomer!
and even more at astropixie: the moon and venus, goodbye "evening star"
