Two Stars and Eclipsed Moon

It was so cold during the eclipse! I went out and took a few pictures, but was too lazy and cold to even bother with the tripod. So, what we have here is a handheld shot. I did another with three stars, but the third was so small that it looked more like a spot on the photo. Anyway, here's my contribution to the bevy of eclipse shots that have been posted in the last day or so.

UPDATE


Ok, Becky from Infinity....an out of bounds look at space has provided the facts. The 'star' to the lower left is in fact, Saturn. And, as we all know, a planet is NOT a star, so I changed the title of this post to more accurately reflect what it actually is. For those of you who know Becky's site, you understand that she is the expert amongst us photobloggers when it comes to things astronomical. She was psyched for the eclipse, but weather in her part of the world did not cooperate.
