Marcel,
A photo of Venus should be possible for CN purposes at or around sunset for my current location of 34 north and 119 west (Ho of Venus is below 24 degrees) but the 50mm camera ISO setting will have to be at least 800 or may be more combined with a slow shutter speed setting. F22 is the preferred aperture but might have to open things up there also. The trick will be to hold the camera steady enough. The up side is that filtering is not needed. I have my doubts on this challenge but will give it a shot.
