Moon burst || Conjunction: Moon Venus Jupiter
Before archiving a folder earlier this year, I found this shot and another that I liked....
Crescent moon setting with the other 2 brightest night planets: Venus (bottom right) and Jupiter top. They were within ~10 degrees wide.
I haven't seen a star burst from the moon before especially as the aperture was only f/11. DPS has a good overview of how to do these. Note that since the 10-22mm lens had 6 blades for its aperture, this meant 6 points to the star. With odd number of blades, you get double the points eg 18 points with my new 16-35mm f/4 lens (9 blades)

There aren't a lot of aspects in Sydney for western/sunsets. I wanted the conjunction to be framed by a foreground and the only one I could find that lined up (thanks TPE) was from Mrs Macquarie's Chair. A fantastic spot and easy to get to but frequently shot.
