Waning crescent Venus 46%

The past weeks you could not miss Venus at the evening sky. Venus is currently very bright and is now less then 50% illuminated. When using a telescoop Venus shows up as a "lunar phase" and is currently waning crescent.
Conditions this evening were very good (temperature -5°C, huminidy 89%). Observations done using Dobson 12" with SE 9mm clearly showed the phase of Venus which is currently 0.46. Below picture was taken with TAL200K and ZWO ASI224MC using Registax and CS4 for editing.
