Here's a one-second-long shot of Venus and the 2.4-day-old Moon that I took from the other side of the street where I live on the night of 2010/6/14. The two celestial objects were separated by a bit more than 4 degrees at the time. I used a Canon EOS Digital Rebel DSLR camera and an 80-200mm Canon EF-S zoom lens.
