Thanks everyone and great answers for beginners like me!

The question came about as we thought it may have been Venus but I wasn't sure if Venus was ever in conjunction with a rising moon? Is it?

Turner painted many pictures with the moon in it so to see such a prominent star/planet I think is more than artistic expression - especially with the historical detail of many of his other paintings.
