Morning Sky

I have been an amateur astronomer for many years, so I tend to be more aware of the sky than most people. I sometimes take more technical photos of new comets, aurorae, and other stuff like that, but I also like to take more "pointless pretty pictures" like this one which shows the Moon and Venus in the morning sky. Note the "Earthshine" dimly illuminating the "dark side" of the Moon.
