Please find attached an observation of Venus which I made this morning. Seeing was rather poor, but there were a number of interesting features present: -Illuminated Disk: Phase now much larger, dusky shading present on the disk. There seemed to be a darker streak present to the south. -Unilluminated Disk: Not visible. -Bright Limb Band: Visible and complete -Terminator: Geometrically regular. -Cusp Caps: Both seemed to be about the same brightness, perhaps the southern cusp cap was larger, but difficult to be sure in these conditions. -Cusp Collars: The souther collar still seems to be the most prominent. The northern collar was easier in the W#15 and W#47 filters.[Paul G. Abel:Leicester:United Kingdom]
