Quite a clear evening, hardly any cloud. Decided to have a quick look at Venus through a binocular to see if I could see any hint of a phase (I'd recently been reading other people's accounts of doing this and wanted to try for myself). |

Quickly stepped outside with the Tento 10x50 binoculars (just hand-held, no monopod or tripod) to have a look at Venus. At first it was hard to be sure if I could see any sort of phase due to the image flaring quite a bit. After a little bit of effort, refocusing and eye-switching I was pretty sure that I could see a hint of the phase. Next chance I get I'll try it using the monopod or the tripod. |
