Get a good idea of the relative positions of the sun and venus (and possibly the moon) the evening before. Then cover the sun with an outstretched hand and scan the area you think venus is in. Keep your eyes moving until you find it since they notice moving objects better than still ones. Robert Snyder clyde!rjs
