DrRobin Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Hi,I didn't realise it is such a thin crescent at the moment, very nice capture. I am not sure if it is visble from my back garden, it is quite low to the south west I think?Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanko Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 yes, look at south-west as soon as the sun sets. its not too low. actually its quite high for venus and its diameter is more than 50 arc seconds. thats more than jupiter at the moment! and it will get even larger in the next 7 days... up to 60 arc seconds, but it will also get lower and lower to the horizon...here is a video from yesterday i made: i have no motor drive and as you can see the sope was also not polar aligned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
