   At around 7am, the waning crescent Moon will be at 14 degrees above the horizon and between Venus and Jupiter.
   Given some clear skies, this should make quite a spectacle. The 25 day old moon will be 17.8% illuminated, and about 4 degrees from Jupiter and 4.5 degrees from Venus. Well worth a look in binos or a widefield photo opportunity.
