Dear Igor,
Yes, it is very interesting indeed! :)
Today I set my new personal record in this: I spotted Venus on 2020-03-27UT10:30 (13:30RTZ2) - the earliest time ever.
But I forgot about the Moon!!! :(
Later in the yesterday's evening I saw it - should have tried today, along with Venus...
Compared to the very first session (2020-03-22) conditions - all these days were sort of foggy/misty, very rarely the sky was as clear as then. I use a СНО-Т with its 7x Keplerian scope. No matter how I try to focus it - I can't see the Venus's crescend. Did you see it?
Warm regards,
Tony
