Venus in the morning seems magical to me, possibly because I'm not fully awake at 6.15 am!!.
Recently the planet has been dazzling in the eyepiece.
Wonderful blues/violets showing up in the eyepiece at high power, thanks to the achromatic lens......though you won't find me complaining about it...:-)

Art thou pale for weariness
of climbing heaven and gazing on the Earth
wandering companion less
among the stars that have a different birth,
and ever changing like a joyless eye
that finds no object worth its constancy.
