Bright Planets, Crescent Moon: Couching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
This high resolution photograph, taken by Jay Ouellet contains several planets (Venus and Saturn), as well as the crescent moon in a tiny 5 degree field. The photograph also contains the celestial bodies Regulus and Titan. Interestingly, "Earthshine" illuminates sections of the darkened mono that we normally would not be able to see. Not shown in this photograph-- Mars; described as "a brilliant red-diode" by Jay Ouellet.
