Today offers an excellent viewing opportunity for a daytime Venus lunar. Venus and the Moon are close all day and at about the same declination. My early morning daytime Venus lunar worked out well (see attached) but the observation was made difficult due to a faint crescent Moon and an oval Venus. A Tamaya Jupiter sextant with a 7 x 35 mm scope was used from a supported stable position.
