Ok, so the Earth isn't in the sky, but it's still a planet visible in the picture. The moon looks more like the sun due to the long exposure time required to get the dimmer planets to show up. Though the moon looked like it was full, it was actually a crescent! Notice the weird angle I had to mount the camera in order to fit all those planets into the frame. They covered about 70 degrees of the sky from Saturn to Mercury.
