Details:
After a week of spotting the slim crescent Venus in the daytime with binoculars or a scope, this was my first sighting of her with unaided eyes following inferior conjunction on January 8, 2022 (EST = UT-5). At 2.0% illuminated, the "morning star" was back to the more familiar bright object in the morning twilight.
Taken at 6:41 am EST with a Canon EOS RP DSLM camera and a Canon 400 mm f/5.6L telephoto lens on a fixed tripod. It's a single frame exposed 1/60 second at f/8, ISO 3200. At the time, Venus was 4.3° altitude. Sunrise would be at 7:18 am.
