Image Details:

At conjunction, the Crescent Moon was 6½° from Venus. They fit together in my 8x42 binoculars, but not in my 11x70's.
Venus is a few degrees North of the Ecliptic and the Moon is a few degrees South. The Moon is "ascending" and will cross the Ecliptic on Apr 1.
It will be on the same side of the ecliptic as the Beehive Cluster when they rendezvous on Apr 2. Have your binoculars ready!
