Great shot. Moon, Venus, Jupiter, Taurus and the Pleides in the field of view.

Cool that you managed to keep the Pleides nicely exposed when it's right next to the moon. Did you meter for the moon and open up just a little? Photographing stars seems such a mystery to me, I've only ever had terrible results. Great shot.

Cheers guys, no didn't meter for moon. 13 second exposure with as low ISO and F stop as I could get away with. I think it helped that there was absolutely no light pollution whatsoever.
