What at we see here is a view across St. Joseph&#8217;s Square in St. Patrick&#8217;s College Maynooth (SPCM)looking towards St. Patrick&#8217;s House with the spire of the College Chapel also visible. In the top left of the shot you can see Venus, and just above the building you can see a very thin crescent Moon with a lot of Earth Shine. This shot was taken with a tripod because it was dark and a four and half second exposure was needed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bartbusschots.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/DSC_7606.jpg\" alt=\"Moon &#038; Venus over SPCM\" title=\"DSC_7606.jpg\"  width=\"450\" height=\"299\" style=\"border-width:0px\" \/><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bbusschots\/5349366306\/in\/set-72157604207472927\/\" target=\"_blank\">on Flickr<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bbusschots\/5349366306\/sizes\/l\/in\/set-72157604207472927\/\" target=\"_blank\">Full-Size<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Camera:<\/strong> Nikon D40<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lens:<\/strong> Nikon DX AFS 18-55mm (D40 kit lens)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Exposure:<\/strong> 4.5 sec (shot on tripod)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Focal Length:<\/strong> 19mm<\/li>\n<li><strong>Focal Ratio:<\/strong> <em>f<\/em>\/8<\/li>\n<li><strong>ISO:<\/strong> 200<\/li>\n<li><strong>Camera Mode:<\/strong> Aperture Priority<\/li>\n<li><strong>Exposure Bias:<\/strong> -3.0ev<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was looking back through some older shots this week when I noticed this one which I had forgotten to upload to Flickr.
