Venus crescent

At last, some clear sky allowing me to try for the crescent Venus.

Reasonably happy with this result - taken in broad daylight with Venus near the Meridian. Would be ideal to have more aperture and focal length. Just trying with what I have available. Hopefully there is another clear day or so before Venus swings close in front of the Sun.
