I'm hoping that after I've uploaded the picture that the two planets will show up along with the crescent moon. One is very faint on the picture, but look closely. This was beautiful to view with the eye, but trying to capture it on camera was very difficult. Even the slightest movement blurred the pictures. This was the best shot that I got before they all moved behind the big pine tree. I hope that someone else has some amazing photos. JakeZ you out there taking some pics??

Sorry, folks, the other planet didn't show up. I'm hoping that they are still visible tonight. I will use my tripod to steady the camera better and hope the wind isn't blowing. Wish me luck!! It was truly an incredible sight!
