Venus set at 6.19 tonight, again to the left hand side of the tree, just a tiny bit further left than yesterday. I really did not expect it to be so close, so I wish I had taken a little more care with yesterday's observation. To give an indication of scale, I estimate that if there was 7 to 10 of this tree in a row, it would equal the width of a full Moon.
I tried to see Venus's rather-large crescent with my naked eye, but really could not see anything.
