We got home just as the last of the blue left the evening sky. The moon was between Orion and Taurus. I managed to get a wide shot with Sirius in the lower left-hand corner and the Moon on the other side of Orion on the upper-right.
I played around with various settings. I hadn't realized how much haze the camera was picking up, and I wish we'd gotten home a little earlier because the bluer sky would have compensated. The best shots seemed to be with the Moon Setting. When I tried manual settings, the shutter speed was too fast.
I tried to get a shot of the Moon and the constellation of Taurus, but the pictures didn't come out with the V of the bull showing up so well. I think the camera's auto-focus works best when the moon is half full.
