After days of terrible weather and inconvenient cloud, the sky was perfectly clear and I could see Venus and the crescent Moon clearly on the train on the way home. Got the camera set up at home and then watched the Moon and stars brighten as the twilight deepened and the Moon and Venus headed to the sea.

Venus and the Moon (and Aldebaran if you click to embiggen) above the roof at around 6:00 pm.
Tomorrow (22 April) the crescent Moon will be on the other side of Venus and Aldebaran. Lets hope its is clear as well. You should be able to see Venus in daylight by looking down from the Moon.
