This is Tom, a member of our club, looking at Venus as it was setting tonight, with his 8" Newtonian telescope. I got there earlier than normal so there would still be light in the sky, because I wanted to do a silhouette of someone observing. It was a gorgeous clear night, and we started by watching the planets Mercury and Venus set in the west, and Saturn was high in the southern sky. It was windy and cold, but we were still up for observing, at least for two hours. By then I was frozen, and headed home after having seen many wonderful things.
