Moon was just about to set...but what I really liked was that star up there. Probably a planet.
Little light on my seat is from the battery heated gloves.

a little pocket Panasonic (used $29, eBay) camera on a tripod, and used the timer not to touch the camera and blur the image

Maybe that star is one of the thousands of satellites circling this planet. It is hard to tell these days.

Did some reading Mel....pretty sure that was Mars. It will be doing something special tonight as well. Go out....it's hanging right by the moon...and is very bright. Brighter in October , than it will be again for 15 years.

We had some thin cloud cover - but the Moon and Mars were clearly visible.
Pretty cool!
