Details:
Venus, with a half shape.
6 days before its greatest eastern elongation.
Legally speaking, the shape of Venus must be gibbous near half, but the photographed shape was slightly more crescent than half?
The size calculated from the pixel size and the view angle of the photo is about 23 arcseconds, and the apparent size is 22.2 arcseconds.
Nikon COOLPIX P510 digital camera (no telescope); ISO 100, F5.9, 1/800s exposure, f=1000mm (trimmed)
