A nice combination of the conjunction Pedro, with a difficult capture of the Moon before it was completely blown out.

The seeing conditions here were not suitable to try with my Panasonic DMC-G2 c/w with 200mm lens.

Thanks vm for sharing

All reflected sunlight :).

Nicely done, Pedro. Too much cloud here to see anything of this for myself.
