Astro pairing

Okay astronomy buffs.  Look closely at this image I took tonight.

It's not the almost full moon I'm talking about but that little white speck about 4 inches to the left.

In a rare juxtaposition, the planet Jupiter can be clearly seen next to our moon in tonight's sky.  Better get out there quick as you won't see this close pairing again till 2016.


And here you thought we spent all our time in crummy diners.

Still livin' the dream on a clear night in Texas.

ps ... For you photo buffs ... I shot this with my Canon 5D and an 800mm catadioptric mirror lens.
