I took a shot last night.

The moon moved to the other side of Venus from Saturn, but I was able
to get a decent shot of the Moon, Venus, Saturn, and Regulus. In the
full-size image, other stars can be seen as well.

I was sitting out on a neighbor's patio when the clouds parted
revealing
the pair. Nice view. Nice pics too.
