This is a horrible time of the year to report this, but one of my favorite planets has tragically come to an end.
I think a moment of silence is in order.
tearfully yours,

I see no water beyond the 'planet'. Photograph was taken with a glass of water (full to the brim) in front of the camera 
Tis a fake.

You live on the West coast I see, you just need to get out a bit earlier and you might catch it a little higher up.

Thanks all for the kind words and wit.
John I smiled as soon as I saw your "clouded in, eh?"...you're exactly right...had to do something.
Ken, it's amazing at how your figured out so quickly how I did it.... and yes, it was faked.
AuroraSeeker....who said "adding diffraction spikes" is bad?...shoot 'em.
thanks again,
bud

Shouldn't the stars reflect in the water too? It looks unnatural!
