Last night I saw the moon for the first time in awhile, so I had to take some pics. (The month of April was the cloudiest on record in Chicago.)

Here's the moon next to the Pleiades star cluster. I didn't even notice it until afterwards.


Dusk to Darkness, taken with the Tamron 17-50 at 50mm f2.8.


Moon setting. This picture was really underexposed so that's why it looks kind of flat here after brightening it up. What I really needed was a faster telephoto lens but that's not going to happen anytime soon.

Thanks Bob. I'm hoping the rest of May will be warm and sunny.
