Christophe's and Frank's recent successes inspired me to try to capture
venus last evening just after sunset. The sky was reasonably steady for that
time (3-4/10) and much steadier than when I've recently tried to image Venus
in the early afternoon. I used my Philips ToUcam. I don't have a UV filter
but tried a W47 filter with an IR blocker. I also captured a color image
with an IR blocker. Both images show an arc near the sunlit terminator that
is reminiscent of one of Christophe's earlier images. However, I believe
that this is probably an artifact. I'll keep trying.
