Moon, Venus and Saturn - September 8, 2013
Finding Planets in the Daytime
Recently did some daytime planet hunting to find Venus in the daytime close to the Crescent Moon and was able to snap a few photos.
After the sun set I was able to locate Saturn and Spica as well.

Astronomers Without Borders - Live Webcast
Millions will look skyward as Venus crosses the Sun on June 5 for the
last time more than 100 years. The very rare transit of Venus can be
seen anywhere that the Sun is visible during the more than 6 hours it
will take Venus to make its journey. Astronomers Without Borders will be webcasting live from world-famous
Mount Wilson Observatory during this rare event, along with top
experts in the history of astronomy, authors, and others will gather at
the best location for seeing the Venus transit on the North American
continent.
Transit of Venus Simulation Video
Transit of Venus simulation for June 5th as will be seen from New York.
Transit of Venus History
In 1768, when James Cook sailed out of Plymouth harbor to observe the Transit of Venus in Tahiti, the trip was tantamount to a voyage through
space. The remote island had just been "discovered" a year earlier, and
by all accounts it was as strange and alien to Europeans as the stars
themselves. Cook's pinpoint navigation to Tahiti and his subsequent
observations of Venus crossing the South Pacific sun in 1769 have
inspired explorers for centuries.

In addition, a global network of NISP instruments will capture images of the transit for a live webcast. This will be an unprecedented opportunity for all to see the transit of Venus from multiple simultaneous locations around the world.

Venus and the waxing Crescent Moon were very prominent in the south-western sky just after sunset. Most of the photographs were taken at the Fire Island National Seashore. Moon set was around 8pm with Venus following soon after.
