About one hour after Christmas sunset I took this picture of Moon and Venus, shining bright above the frozen lake. Nikon Coolpix885, 400 ASA

Even though it was hazy and partly cloudy I wanted to try for the Christmas Sunset with Venus and the Moon close together. The picture was taken with a Nikon CP995 digital camera

Santa brought us a magnificient Moon-Venus conjunction setting above Nice's famous "Promenade des Anglais" and the airport.

I was watching the sunset and caught the Moon-Venus Conjunction. Got closer image and montaged with sunset scene. Used a Sony Mavica MVC-FD90 Digital Camera on auto settings.

The earthshine was so bright on the crescent Moon I could see all the Maria and detail of crater on the dark side. I set up my Orion 5' RFT refractor and took a photograph using 25mm eyepiece and my Sony Digital Still Camera DSC-P71. The most striking feature on the Moon is the crater Aristarchus which has a history of showing star like on the dark side of the Moon. The image was taken at 5:49 P.M. CST or 23:49 UT. The earthshine present tonight was by far the best I have seen in many a lunation.

Taken with a Canon 10D digital SLR camera.

Both images were taken right after 5:30 pm EST. It wasn't dark enough to see any 'earthshine' but was clearly visible about 1/2 hour later. Sony Maciva MVC-FD100 camera, ISO 400 with +2.0EV setting.

A heavenly way to end Christmas 2003. The Moon and Venus came out of the clouds long enough for me to snap this photo with my Sony Mavica digital camera.

The clouds cleared just in time to catch the Moon and Venus only three degrees apart.

Took pictures with Fuji S602 zoom

Crescent Moon, Venus and the last reflection of the Christmas Day sunset on the ice of Green Bay. Taken at 16:45 with a Canon G2 digital, f2.2, 1/60 sec. exposure. I was standing out on the ice listening to the booms echoes across the Bay as pressure ridges freeze while watching Venus emerge from a beautiful winter sunset. This extraordinary scene brings to mind the phrase 'Heavenly Peace'!

Took this photo of the moon and Venus. A beautiful sight. I used my Olympus C-750 Ultra Zoom, at night setting.

I got this picture after my Christmas meal, in my backyard. It was so nice, bright venus and moon between the clouds. Camera: minolta dimage7i, on 200mm, 4s exposure
