Nice.

But I believe that's Jupiter, not Venus.

I think it may be Venus... at least from the articles I've read.

I could have gotten a great picture of the moon and Venus with the glow of the sun on the horizon over the Andes from my plane this morning but the window was too filthy to get a good shot. :(

Heh, as I told him on Twitter.. last night on the news, they were talking about Jupiter and being near the horizon early in the morning... so I wasn't paying attention well enough to realize this wasn't the same object. LOL

(My days of amateur astronomy are long past... anyone wanna buy a telescope? )

I wished I would be an early bird and wake up early in the morning to take photos like you!
