I picked up Venus near midday last Wed 28th using 6.5x32 binoculars. It was a brilliant white beacon against the blue sky. Having found Venus' position I was able to pick it out naked eye.
It was a busy day and I have only just realised I had forgotten to post the observation.
Venus was so obvious that it made me wonder why I could not find it earlier as I had reported. The sky was clear that day and the binos were right on focus. I think I was looking too close to the Sun at the time to try and find Venus.
This observation was at 12 degree separation. Shall have to try again when closer as per Skysurfer's observation.
