Crescent Moon and Venus Tonight

I noticed this outside, but have no tripod at the moment. A bright star is next to the moon, and it's Venus!

Quote:
At dusk tonight (Friday, February 27), step outside and look west. Venus and the crescent Moon are having a beautiful close encounter in the sunset sky. If you point a small telescope at the pair, you will see that Venus, like the Moon, is a crescent. The phases of the two are almost the same, adding an extra dimension of beauty to an already lovely show. Don't miss it!
Can someone with a tripod and SLR photograph this tonight?
