Lunar X, Y and V, noctilucent clouds and Venus!

The sky was beautifully clear when I got home from band practice last night, so I grabbed a few shots of the Moon and a faint display of noctilucent clouds. The Moon was an hour or two past the optimum phase to see the clair obscur X and Y effects, but they could both be picked out. Interestingly, a letter V had joined the lunar alphabet!

This morning Venus was visible in the east as a brilliant, slightly gibbous object.
