Moon, Venus, Mars and Sirius

[andrew_t1000]

I shot this the other night.

When I saw the Moon and Venus I had to get my camera out.
Venus is the bright object above the moon, Mars is reddish, below the moon and to the right.
Sirius is whitish, below the moon and Mars on the left.

Thank you, Venus can be very easily seen, and also Mars and Sirius, for dummies like me
