Venus disappearing behind the moon around 10AM local time, observed from Fjellhamar, Norway.
We had beautiful clear sky and warm weather with good seeing for this event. Venus was easily located in a 6x30 finderscope, but the moon was very difficult to see visually through the finderscope. The sun was hidden behind a tree to reduce stray light.

Technical details:
I used a 20cm Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope with a ZWO ASI224MC CMOS camera. An infrared filter, blocking light at wavelengths shorter than 850nm, was used to darken the daytime sky and improve contrast.
