I shot this tonight from my driveway. One still frame grabbed from a 30-second video with the Pentax K-30 DSLR in video mode. High cirrus, some thin ground fog forming, and high-altitude turbulence. It's a good thing Venus is so close and huge right now. The smallest bino or finderscope will reveal the crescent. C-6 using eyepiece projection with an 18mm Kellner, on my old Edmund 5/8" shaft mount. http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii24/JethroTull1958/Venus001_zps934a1ebe....
