The occultation of Venus by the moon was a sublime sight in the clear twilight at Tinderbox. Venus was like a sparkling jewel on the bright limb just at disappearance in the soft twilight light tones Jupiter and Mars were both clearly visible nearby. At reappearance the two crescents were lined up and hung like matching pendants. Whilst Mercury was above the horizon it was obscured by a low bank of cloud and smoke haze.
