Conjunction of a 23 day old Moon and Jupiter in the early morning sky

Conjunction of a 23 day old Moon and Jupiter in the early morning sky

July 24, 2011 5:06AM PDT

Location: My home, Victoria, BC, Canada

Sometimes there are benefits to waking up earlier than normal. I observed a beautiful conjunction of the old Moon and Jupiter in the pre-dawn southwest sky this morning. A few clouds and some Garry Oaks in my front yard made a nice composition for the camera.
