A new observer Antonello Medugno of Italy took a nice snapshot of
Venus in UV light on March 31st at 17:45 UT. It was taken with a C14. Mine
was taken 5 hrs later at 22:45 UT with a Meade 10-inch.

I put together a short animation and you can see clearly the
rotation of the clouds from right to left. (NORTH at top and WEST at right). Note
that bright area (just south of equator) comes into view.
