Jupiter & Venus

I was on vacation with a friend going on a roadtrip in the eastern USA and one of the stops was the great smoky mountains national park. We found a pretty good place one night to watch this show. The reason the trees are easily visible is due to the full moon shining. The shadow on the bottom right is due to some trees obstructing the moonlight. Image taken with a Canon 600D, one exposure consisting of 30 second worth of photons.
