I started when the sky was light, the disk of Venus being relatively easy to pick out against even the bright sky. Illuminated disk: Quite an interesting view, both in IL, and with the filters (W#47 and 21). There seemed to be a brighter region fairly close to the SPC. A number of interesting dark markings were present elsewhere on the disk. Un-illuminated Disk: Not seen Bright Limb Band: Visible and complete Terminator: geometrically regular- dark terminator shading present Cusp Regions: Both present and of equal brightness- south cusp cap slightly larger?[Paul G.
