The waning crescent Moon above Venus and Saturn (dimmer and below Venus) in the dawn twilight on January 6, 2016, taken from home on a cold winter morning at -20° C. At right and below the planets are the stars of Scorpius, including Antares just above the trees and the trio of stars for the head of Scorpius at right.

This is a composite of a long exposure (6s) for the ground, and shorter exposures for the Moon to avoid it being totally overexposed and to preserve the Earthshine. All with the 50mm lens and Canon 60Da.
