This is the best I could do what with all the clouds around. From this position the moon will slide below Venus. If you have clear sky and can find the moon, use binoculars throughout the day and you will see Venus above the moon. There are clear skies coming my way and I'll try later in the day for another picture. BTW, Venus is visible to the eye in a clear, blue sky. once you find Venus in your binoculars try to see it with just your eye.

Venus was closer to the moon in your shot. Gonna slide over the moon during the day.
I"m looking to purchase another telescope. Do you have any recommendations?

Posted by starwatcher-alSolar minimum was in 2019 so the sun is ramping up in flares, spots and prominences.
Posted by starwatcher-alI missed the early phases of the eclipse but the clouds mostly left during totality. All in all a great eclipse. Next one is Nov. 8-22
