The moon and Saturn together

Excellent (y)
 
Jaw just dropped on that first image. Bloody good work there to get that. EXIF data is a bit redundant though so I have to ask, how did you get the shot and did you know Saturn was going to be there? I'd love to get the moon and one of our planets in the background.

I cant believe how close Saturn looks! Blown away with that shot fella (y)
 
Cheers Carl,

I was a bit lucky to be honest. I just looked out of the window and saw the moon. Hadn't seen it for quite a while, so decided to take a picture. It was only when I was outside that I realised there was anything close to it. Imagine my delight when I realised it was Saturn.

Luckily as well the phase of the moon mean the brightness of both it and Saturn were perfectly matched in the exposure.

Unfortunately I fiddled with the levels slightly to bring ot moon details which has buggered the EXIF data. I have a look at posting an unaltered version later.
 
Stunning first shot. Saturn is a sight to behold. Love it very well done.
