Details:
Very thin crescent of Venus - during conjunction. Found Venus after 3 tries by centering the sun (with solar filter!), then using the setting circles on the mount with the offsets from the Sun to Venus. Beautiful site!
Photograph with Nikon D7000 (ISO 800, 1/2000 second) using afocal projection with Takahashi FC-76 and 9mm eyepiece.
