Moon surrounded by Pollux and company!

First quarter moon was hovering over the right arm of Gemini constellation tonight and was in conjunction with Pollux towards it's right and Phi, Kappa & Upsilon Geminorium surrounding it. It had been cloudy for quite a few days but the shower in the evening today made the atmosphere crystal clear giving a mesmerizing look of the moon with the background stars.
