Just the slightest bit hazy this evening... but still a lovely set of sightings, since the late-afternoon's partial cloudiness had obligingly dissipated shortly after full darkness had settled upon the western sky. Even better... at just past 6pm, it was a pleasantly tolerable 55°F. 
Saturn, at mag 1.1 and 1.5-degrees from the 2.5-day-old Moon, was easy to spot naked eye... and the pairing made for a charming and enjoyable duo in my 15x70 Celestron SkyMaster Pro ED.
This slightly-cropped, less-than-spectacular shot was taken with a tripod-mounted Askar ACL200 astro-lens and an Olympus OM-1. 1/4-sec at f/4 and ISO1600.
In spite of their huge difference in brightness... the Venus/Neptune duet was only a bit more difficult. I'd plotted Neptune's position using SkyMap12 Lite... and thankfully, at 3.3-degrees distance from mag -4.6 Venus, it was in a relatively uncrowded section of sky, with Mag 7.9 Neptune forming an almost-right-angle triangle with two nearby stars of similar magnitude (7.6 and 8.9).
This was the first time I'd spotted Neptune in the Celestron 15x70s... but thanks to their excellent sharpness and contrast, I was pleasantly surprised to so easily detect the dim planet's obvious greenish-blue hue, as compared with the yellow-orange glow of the two neighboring stars.
The views of both groupings through the binoculars were infinitely nicer than my mediocre photos... but clicking on them will probably help.
