Gloriously clear evening here in Devon - just got back after watching Venus emerge from behind the moon.
Taken less than an hour ago

Nices pics there, especially Astro0 with the big smile
. I like it .From two images taken at about two minutes of interval, I made an anaglyph of the scene just after the end of the occultation  Vertical relief very very flattens (Moon at 404 909 km, Venus 150 073 000 km and Jupiter at 869 173 000 km)  .-------------------- |

Here's my view, taken with a digital camera through 10x50 binoculars. What a magnificent sight.
I was fortunate the clouds opened at around the time Venus reappeared.
