Here are some 1 micron and UV images of Venus obtained in April. Most interesting are the low contrast light and dark markings seen in 1 micron. Since these seem to change from day to day i think perhaps these markings are not on the surface. They differ totally from the markings in UV so must be deep in the Venusian atmosphere but from the day to day change are still moving quite quickly. The seeing was rarely good in UV hence rather limited results in that wavelength unfortunatley.


For convienience here are the Venus images presented as a montage for easier comparsion on features
