Yes, the crescent is great to see - I'm looking forward to watching it develop further over the next month. With respect to the star, you might wish to check a program such as Stellarium. I made it to be an orange star and I think it was psi Leo - mag 5.35 - quite prominent in the scope and very close to Venus. Closest was around 18:40 on 3rd July. Looked lovely!

I seem to remember a small, dim 'star' just above or below Venus. I know definitely that it wasn't Saturn and that Venus has no natural satellites. Does anyone have any idea, or am I just seeing things? |
