The very tip of the crescent, just as it came into view. The rest of Venus was still hidden behind the moon at this moment.

There actually was a star in this field of view but did not show up under these exposure settings.

The two closest natural celestial bodies make quite a show. But what's that dot above the Venus crescent? Can it be a background star? Wouldn't background stars be too faint to appear in a photo like this? Nice pic. The two closest natural celestial bodies make quite a show. But what's that dot above the Venus crescent?
