With a clear sky at sunset, I was optimistic about catching Moonrise at around 20.45: while I waited I took a couple of shots of Venus, a cropped version of which plainly shows the planet's gibbous phase.
The Moon eventually crawled over the rooftops, but a bank of low mist made focusing problematical. I overexposed one image to reveal the nearby bright star Spica (mag 1.0) in the constellation of Virgo.
