day light Venus with Moon (Toronto)

Got 'em!

I had entered a note in my agenda to try to find Venus in the day time, using the nearby Moon.

I was busy as hell today but I forced myself outside.

I hid in the shadow of the house. After a bit of scanning with the binoculars I finally found the thin Moon. Once I knew where it was, it was easy to spot naked eye.

Now to Venus, up and to the left. Pow! There it was. I could see it was not fully round in the binos.

Without optical aid, it was doable. But tricky. Venus is bright. It really is unmistakeable. But it is so small...

That was fun!

OK. Back to work!
