Tom;

Do you think that Venus is such an easy crescent in these images because of
the light gathering power of a 300mm lens?  It is certainly a LOT more than
my little eyeball?  My old 7X35 binoculars can easily display a smiley face
Venus tonight (Tues., June 1, 04), but it does not appear elongated to my
naked eye.
