Stunning!  Great natural-looking detail in the earth-lit side of the moon.
I couldn't help but recognize 4,7, and 9 Sagittarii near Venus and 11 
Sagittarii off to the south/left.  And then HR6617 a moon diameter away and 58 
Ophiuchi further to the north/right.

I took advantage during the next early crescent to give it a shot, but couldn't 
get away with anything as close-up as yours.  Still, I found some foreground 
stuff to enhance the shots...
