     Thought this might be of interest to those imagers ...

     Saturday 16 June – At 13:00 BST (12:00 UT), there's a great opportunity to spot Venus during the day as it sits 3° (approximately two finger widths) north of a 10%-lit waxing crescent Moon. Later in the evening, the now 13%-lit waxing crescent Moon and mag. –3.9 Venus appear 6.25° (approximately four finger widths) apart in evening twilight.
