Our Nearest Neighbor

A couple of shots from last night.  The first was taken with the A100 and Sigma 24-70mm combo, while the second was taken with my Orion ED80 refractor telescope and the A100.  I have not been under the stars in a while and have been itching to shoot the moon.  Looks like it came out well.

Please click through the photos for larger versions as well as for any exif information.

This one also has Jupiter in the mix. Currently it is the second brightest object in the sky for us Northern Hemisphere folks.
