Default Josef Kruger's conjunction of the moon and planets

A good friend of mine, Josef Kruger, who lives just 5 kilometers away took this glorious shot this am ( February 4th) from his rooftop. Canon 350 D with tripod and self timer.
He managed to get an image, not only of the earthshine on the moon, but also of Phi and Sigma sagittarii.

Sir,
I appologize for entering this conversation and changing the subject but,
in February 2007 you were looking for a clock drive for a TANZUTSU Catadioptric telescope. Please see e-bay, item number: 200214411538.
Thank you.
