Photoshop Elements 15 - Image size reduction and minimal application of Star Spikes Pro filter to bring out the small stars. Venus was so bright that it produced its own star shaped flare in the camera optics.

Crescent Moon, Venus and Phi Aquarii
Could not resist the temptation to see if the Jan 27th close conjuction of Neptune with Venus would be visible. It was not. Thanks to Bruce McClure for pointing out in his article at https://earthsky.org/tonight/see-young-moon-venus-after-sunset-2#mercury that the faint object at present visible to the naked eye close to Venus is the star Phi Aquarii and not Neptune.
