Morning Star - Venus at dawn

Venus a fine sight at daybreak against a wonderful songbird dawn chorus. Later, before breakfast, Venus spied and videoed in full daylight with my Meade ETX-70 as a 33% phase crescent.

Thanks - I've yet to see Venus at dusk due to poor western horizons - most of my vids are from home;-)

cool :D

Glad you liked it - summer morns with birdsong seem so far away in midwinter;-0

@nytecam so venus comes to the sky every summer

[nytecam]

Venus never strays more than ~45 deg from the sun so alternates as a morning or evening 'star' - it's currently hidden 'behind' the sun and will be an evening star this spring and summer as it moves out of the sun's glare.

Nice capture of Venus phase. The avian chorus is a beautiful complement too.

@nytecam No wonder I can see through Reno, Nevada " Like Reno911 " to see in the sky
