PeterB,
Loved your comment about your "fence rail". And Venus during the day, just finding it, is exciting! I'm sure we all know this but, just calculate Zn, general Hc and using a compass and binoculars to find its position.
I was standing beside a country road doing this, a few years back, when a man stopped and inquired as to what I was doing. I said, "trying to find Venus". He asked, "what does she look like....what kind of dog".
This isn't related but once I was taking an observation of the Sun and a man (not the same one) asked, "are you looking for snakes"?
Oh well....
