Jupiter close to the waxing crescent moon tonight.  Click for (much) larger image.  As usual for this type of shot: Canon 7D 100-400mm L at 400mm, 1/200 s, f5.6, ISO 200.

Earlier in the evening, Jupiter was visible in daylight – before the sun had set.  First time I’ve spotted it with the naked eye.
