The moon and Venus were near the meridian on the morning of May 20th in a deep blue sky.  The moon was at last quarter and Venus is getting close to its greatest elongation on May 31, so they appear to be at a similar phase.  Images recorded with a 130mm Stellarvue refractor - f/21 for Venus and f/7 for the moon.  ZWO 183MC camera.
