The Moon and Pleiades

This is a raw, SOC shot taken last night from the east shore of Lake Ray Hubbard near, Dallas, Texas.

I've got lots of shots at different exposures including some with properly exposed sunlit lunar crescent and plenty of calibration shots so I will be working to come up with a blended shot without the crescent appearing so over-exposed.
