Wednesday morning October 14^th in the hour or so before sunrise look eastward for the 26.8-day old thin waning crescent Moon and the inner planet Venus. Both are shining brightly with the Moon’s apparent brightness of -10.0 contrasting with the -4.0 apparent brightness of Venus.

   Both the Moon and Venus will just barely fit within the 7^o field of view of binoculars with the Moon to be about 7-8^o to the east, ‘below’ the inner planet Venus.
