Celestial Trio

Sky & Telescope is calling tonight's celestial event the "Venus & Jupiter Show", but hey, let's not forget the Moon. ;)
Tonight the crescent moon joined Venus and Jupiter forming a beautiful celestial triangle. While I was getting the shot, a little cloud decided to pass in front of Venus, but it's so bright it came through anyway. The Moon, as you can clearly see is surrounded by a lovely halo, and Jupiter is the bright star to the far right of the image.
