Dear all Venus observers-
  Well, Venus was imaged again (three nights in a row) July 12th at 23:15 UT.
It is a same old thing. A dark band in the southern hemisphere and somewhat
dusky band in the north.
I guess the southern band is spreading nearly around the globe and it is a long
lasting feature.
 Venus will be imaging again Saturday and perhaps even on Sunday.
Then, I will try to make a short animation showing the effects of the rotation
from each day. It should be interesting to see.
I did something a little different in processing. You will see three images at top.
Then, I have combined all together (median) into a single image at the bottom.
I guess it is not too much of a difference when comparing with the images at top.
