Equipment Details:

For this photo I used a Nikon D5600 with a Sigma 17-50mm lens, at 34mm. The settings I used were: M, 1.6sec exp. @F4 and an ISO of 1600.

Post-processing Details:

Cropped for size

Image Details:

I captured this photo of the new crescent Moon and Venus just overlooking the Santa Monica Bay, from Palos Verdes. Just above the Moon and to the right is the star cluster Pleiades, and below and to the left o Venus is the "V" of the constellation, Taurus the Bull. With the palm tree I think it makes a nice shot of a California sunset.
