Details:
We experienced a fantastic sky show this early morning. After hunting the Comet Lovejoy, I surprisingly noticed the waning crescent moon was rising with a bright spot- Mercury the first planet. I've never seen such an OLD moon before. It's thin but eyes catching. This is a lucky beginning to see the moon, mercury conjunction under the beautiful weather.
DSLR camera prime focus 72mm f/6 refractor.
