Venus with a sliver of Moon on the side
Venus and Moon Sliver

Saw this on the western horizon around nine last night. If I would have zoomed out a bit further we would have also seen the Pleiades to the right and a bit below the moon. If the weekend finds you awake at around 11pm and with clear skies, look to the Northeast for possible activity from the Lyrid Meteor shower.

Very nice! I saw that view just as I was getting ready for bed, and was too tired to get the photo equipment out to capture it. I'm glad you did!
