What did I do last night?

I've started experimenting with basic star photography skills. Fiddling with camera settings, exposure times and all that. Nothing great yet.

This shot from last night shows the moon at the bottom, one of the planets (Venus, I think) above it, and the star cluster called the Pleiades near the top, all in a line. Even though the moon was only a sliver of a crescent last night, it shows as a round blob because it's so much brighter than the stars.

I'll keep working on star photography until I can get one of those fabulous shots of the Milky Way.
