Tonight Moon, Mars and Star Form Celestial Triangle Wednesday Night "Feb 19th 2014"

Quote from article
Take a look at the sky toward the east-southeast horizon to spot a "celestrial triangle" formed by the moon, a bright star and an even brighter planet: Mars.

On Wednesday, the moon will be exactly midway between its full and last quarter phases, appearing as a waning gibbous moon about 75-percent illuminated. Shining brightly with a fiery hue well above the moon will be the planet Mars, with the bluish star Spica completing the triangle far to the moon's upper right
end quote


Maybe someone here will be able to get some nice photos of this.

Very cool. It has been cloudy for a while up here, but this morning I noticed how awesome the moon and venus looked together. Still worth shooting now with an interesting silhouetted foreground I think, even if they are further apart.
