Moon with Star/Planet/Whatever it is
Sep 15, 2021 19:51:57 #
I haven't done any moon shots since 2014 when I went through a period of being obsessed to get a good one. Back then with the Tamron 150-600 1st generation on a Canon 6D I managed to get one good enough the local camera store kept a print to show people looking to buy the lens.
Well last night I stepped out the door to dump a trashcan and there straight south was the moon and a bit east of it was a single bright "Star???". There was some haze and we have a lot of light pollution around here (South East end of the Los Angeles Metro Area) so when I looked around the only things showing in the sky were the moon, this one bright dot, one airliner and a helicopter going past.
As I went back in to put the trash can next to my desk I had to step around my 80D + Tamron 150-600 G2 so on a whim I rolled my office chair over and using the rear screen I adjusted my settings and did some frames of the moon, a few with the "star" showing.

I took a look at Stellarium, it might be phi Sagitarii
thanks but way too bright - some Star Struck types on another site say it is Jupiter and company(its pack of moons).

Last night, 9/15/2021, the first bright object to the left of the moon was Saturn, then the brightest object further to the left was Jupiter. Tonight, 09/16/2021 the moon will be closer to Saturn and below it, and the following night the same for Jupiter.

If the weather cooperates tonight, try to capture the moon, Jupiter and Saturn in you frame. What was your focal length on the first shot? A shot of all 3 would be interesting as well.
