Crescent Venus by Camera

About this image

Venus imaged by camera four days before inferior conjunction, as it was setting behind neighbour's trees. I could not see Venus naked eye but it was an easy binocular sight with the crescent phase very obvious. 

Through a telescope in daylight Venus is now showing a very thin crescent but I was unable to see any cusp extensions.
