binos are great, just pan around slowly and you will love what you see and wonder why you didn't invest in some sooner :p enjoy Simone.

At 5am from Sydney, Venus will be about 16 deg high (altitude) and 70 deg azimuth, (north is 0 deg Az and east is 90 deg Az). Therefore Venus is more northerly from east and not very high. The waning crescent Moon was 46 deg high and 47 deg azimuth this morning.
On the morning of the 25th May and particularly the 26th May, the Moon will make a nice pairing with Venus.
