I'm happy we both had a clear view. I'd like to invest in a phone/binoccular adapter because that sight was splendid.

I was taking a photo of the full moon tonight.
After dinner, I looked up to our second story window
and saw dessert.

Fred and Chris, you've shown us such superb pictures lately! 
Love your Moon shot with the Lady in the Moon showing so clearly, Fred. And Chris, your portrait of galaxy M63 is just wonderful!
But, hey - we are all allowed to post our little efforts here, aren't we?
So here goes. This is the first time I've managed to photograph a thin crescent moon and made it look actually thin! Wo-hoo!!!
As the sky grew darker, I just couldn't make the crescent Moon look so thin. Talk about pixel bleeding!
Oh, and... I have to show you this...
Can't you see? It's obviously the Pleiades!

Re: What did you see in the sky tonight?
Sometimes it's hard to know what a photo can be made to realize. When I was trying to photograph Jupiter and Venus from inside our house, an out-of-focus image seemed to contain unexpected detail of Jupiter. This post and the others were very helpful to alleve my wishfulness. It does make me curious how much detail a skilled digital reconstructionist could glean from a flawed image.

Looks fine to me, Ron!
Only problem is... The light-colored stripe across the face of Jupiter in your picture is found just where the dark North Equatorial Belt is supposed to be located!
