A rare grouping, the bright object below the moon is Venus and the faint cluster of stars above Venus is the star cluster Pleiades or also known as the Seven Sisters and Messier 45. A little known fact it’s also the emblem for the Subaru car company. Photographed at ISO 6400/f16/30sec.

First new camera in years, Panasonic DMC-LX100 actually has dials for f-stop, focus, format, shutter speed and exposure compensation. No more fumbling around to find those things on a LCD screen. 24-75mm Leica DC lens (F1.7-2.8)
