Attached is an observation of Venus I made this evening in an unpredicted cloud gap.
Seeing wasn't too bad but frequent passing cloud was a nuisance.
Once more the markings seemed fairly conspicuous but I did have trouble placing them accurately due to the glare form the disk.
Other points include:
Bright Limb Bad: Visible and complete
Terminator: Geometrically regular
Cusp Caps: SPC quite brilliant,and for the first time in this elongation I was able to definitely see the NPC,
although it was not overly conspicuous it was definitely present.
Cusp Collars: Southern collar seen,northern one may have been glimpsed.
