Some Venus images taken yesterday morning soon after sunrise. Venus is approaching superior conj. in 2 months' time,phase is 94% and diameter 10.5". IR image shows only terminator shading and at the poles. Interesting that UV images taken 4 minutes apart appear to show different markings. I think this just shows how unreliable webcam filtered images of small planetary disks taken in poor seeing,and then contrast-stretched,can be,and how careful the observer has to be in reporting what is really representative.[David Arditti: Edgware Middlesex HA8 5LW: United Kingdom]
