[AZ-Observing] Re: Venus by day

Thanks, Darrell.

Venus was/is definitely naked eye, both on the 30th and yesterday. It  
should be easy to pick out again today, having the Moon as a fairly  
convenient pointer. According to Starry Night Pro, Venus should be  
about 12 degrees from the Moon at about 1pm today. I tried like heck  
to see Jupiter as well but could only pick that up with some glass  
until after about 4:30p.
