Attached is an observation of Venus I made this morning. The planet was easily visible to the naked eye against the blue sky. A number of interesting features seemed to be present on the disk: - Illuminated Disk: Terminator shading present, along with general hue of disk. - Unilluinated Disk: not visible. - Bright Limb Band: Visible and Complete. - Terminator: Geometrically regular. - Cusp Caps: The north cusp cap seemed to be larger than the south- this was more obvious in the W15 and W47 filters. - Cusp Collars: The southern cusp collar seemed to be more prominent than the northern one- again this was more evident in the W15 and W47 filters. The promised clouds closed in at 0935UT so Venus observations were concluded.[Paul G. Abel:Leicester:United Kingdom]
