Venus Occultation - Photos

Yesterday morning I hauled myself out of bed at 0330 hoping to get some photos of the occultation of Venus, and the Lyrid meteor shower.  No luck on the meteors, but I shot almost 200 photos of Venus passing behing the moon.  I was a mess all day for lack of sleep, but it was worth it.  Here's a sample...

If you look close, you can see that Venus is also a crescent.

There she goes...
