I send you an image I have captured today at dawn.
In this image we can see the crescent Moon pairing up with the planet Venus.
In the vicinity of Venus, about 2½° south, you can catch a glimpse of the glorius M44, the Beehive Star Cluster.

I hope you find this image interesting and post it at your magazine.

Image details:
Canon EOS 450D, Canon EOS 24mm lens @ f/3.5, ISO 800, 15 sec exposure.
