I've been having a lot of fun watching Venus for the past few weeks. I look from the deck on the east side of our house, safely set up in the house's shadow, when Venus is due south and highest. Today's 2.7% illuminated Venus was lovely.
I also catch it in the western sky just after sunset. The crescent is easy in 12x36 IS binoculars and visible in 8x32 binoculars if they are steadily held.
Clear skies, Alan
