Tonight we had the treat of seeing a 3-day old crescent moon line up with Jupiter and Venus to form a "smiley face". Sadly I don't have any long lenses at the moment, so had to make do with the 17-85mm and mucked around with exposures....

Wow! That is really neat. I would love to say I will have this opportunity this evening (it's 05:45 in the morning here right now) but it is supposed to be cloudy!

It was spectacular as I watched it with my family last evening 8 kilometres east of Kampala from Kwata Zone Village, Komamboga Parish, Kawempe Division, Kampala, Uganda, East Africa.

The sky was clear and the line-up was awesome, lovely, breathtaking!
