A beautiful sight in western sky; Venus is passing Pleiades. This was a good change to test my homemade travelscope (aka Talson). I used 32mm eyepiece which gives 25x and a huge 2˚ field. With this magnification Venus is only a very bright "star" without clear phase...and Pleiades...check sketch out.
