Venus, the Moon and Aldebaran the bulls eye

Looking west over the garden fence. The crescent Moon with earthshine illuminating the remainder of the earth facing surface and sitting just above the orange supergiant star Aldeberan (alpha tauri). Venus shining brightly above my neighbour's television aerial.

When I went to put some dishes in the dishwasher I noticed the crescent moon through a west facing window.  I quickly located the wherabouts of my DSLR and managed to capture not only the moon but also Venus and the star Aldebaran. I braced the telephoto lens of my camera on the top of my neighbour's fence and handheld an exposure of 1/15th of a second. No mean effort for a shakey old man!
