Details:
Two days before its lead role in the Great American Eclipse of 2017 , the Moon made a fine appearance in the pre-dawn skies of Wyoming alongside morning planet Venus. Wildfire smoke in western American skies add a ruddy color to the atmosphere. Two mornings later the shadow of the New Moon will race diagonally across Wyoming. Centerline of totality is 125 miles south of my town of Cody. Exposure for this photo was 2 seconds at f/2.8 at ISO 1600 using a 30 year old manual focus Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 lens on a Nikon D5300 dslr.

This is a fabulous photo!
I also have another great one from a few years ago on the desk top of our other Mac from 28 Oct 2015. (looks like there is a Phila Philies banner with the US flag on the porch.
