Details:
The Pleiades were occulted by the Moon earlier in the day but we didn't see it. With the clouds enhancing the Moon's glare you can't see them visually tonight either, but at least there's a nice halo. The bright star just outside the ring on the left is Capella, and the one midway inside the ring below and slightly right is Aldebaran. Uranus makes a cameo appearance in the closer view.
