Venus Returns (September 2011)
Venus captured in the twilight after sunset (6:35 pm ACST, Sunday September 18), you will need to click to embiggen to see the dot that is Venus (indicated by arrow).
As I noted yesterday, Venus is now visible from where I live. It's lucky I live fairly close to the ocean, as you really need to have a clear unobstructed horizon to see Venus in the twilight. However, it will climb higher in the evening sky as the month progresses, until it dominates our early evening skies.
