Default Spica & Waning Crescent Moon with Earthshine

Hi All,

I missed the Auroras and continued Meteors last night due to clouds and rain. It did finally clear around 7:00am this morning, too late to see the Auroras or meteors,


but I was rewarded with a beautiful view of Spica above the Waning Crescent Moon with Earthshine.

Taken with a Canon 10D DSLR, 75-300mm lens at about 100mm, ISO 400 for 4 seconds from my backyard in Dayton, Ohio.

I figure its better than nothing at all,

Pretty photo, John, I love the way the moon is just radiating light like a star. Thanks for sharing.
