Stanislas Maksymowicz (100mm refracter)
Here is my contribution for Venus performed last 04th with the 100mm
refractor under average to good images.
Nothing exceptional to report: caps here,brightenings near the terminator
(on the equator area,north temperate zone).
South at top.

Manos Kardasis (280mm SCT )
Venus is still quite close to the Sun and at low altitude after sunset to obtain detailed images. The size of Venus is also a little more than 10 arcsec. I captured this set in broad daylight when Venus and the Sun were high in the sky. Some interesting details are visible.
It is pretty rare to see Venus images as a whole disk.

Paul G. Abel(203mm reflector)
Attached is a daylight drawing of Venus. Seeing was largely poor throughout but there seemed to be a couple of interesting features on the disk:
Illuminated Disk: It seemed that there was a dark greyish streak present in the south. Near the centre of the disk a bright region seemed to be present
Unilluminated Disk: Not visible.
Bright Limb Band: Visible and complete
Terminator: Geometrically regular.
Cusp Regions: The southern polar cap seemed to be a little brighter. Both cusp collars present but the southern cusp collar was perhaps more conspicuous.
1648UT: Examined Venus with a W#21 filter,interestingly the markings seemed much harder to see,while the southern cap was notably brighter.
