日没前に撮影しています。金星が大きくなったので,5cm10倍のファインダーでも三日月形に見えます。

Here is a report performed with the R102mm under average good images on best〓moments and operated under a transparent sky.
A sign of cloud pattern was collected with some difficulty,boths cap〓not conspiscious〓clear,〓caps being probably faded by the planet tilt axis and more by planet phase,no bright spot.
AL was more than suspected with the R,B,YG,WF,not full dark side as shown and with polar+R and YG filters exhibiting the full dark side,not with the B filters,〓 with 80x magnification,planet heigth〓50°,also with〓 a faint light yellowish blue tint well noted near the terminator. Cusp extension was not evaluated.
Some dark markings on the AL light was there (as drawn carefully,the same for each filter in use).
The light intensity on dark side was degrading from〓terminator〓towards the dark side limb,partial extension,using polar filter and R/YG filters full extention,〓 but the intensity not reaching a L1 〓(3 the highest) . Turning the polar filter by 90° extincted〓the light level to an insignificant〓level as already reported on 15th and 16th,the variation of light remained〓subtil but noted.
AL light intensity is not growing since days,reaching L1 level on the 23rd april,the maximum observed,here as intense than the 14 and 15th may,the polar filter giving the more discriminatable〓light on the dark side when the R and YG filters were on addition.

I also made my first proper telescopic observation of Mercury using setting circles and offsetting from Venus.  While I have seen Mercury with the naked eye and of course when it transited the Sun this is the first time I've viewed it under ordinary circumstances.  All that could be made out was the phase on a light pink disk but it is nice to finally have a drawing (albeit showing nothing at all!) of Mercury!  For Venus,only the terminator shading was seen:
Bright Limb Band: Visible and complete
Terminator: Geometrically regular
Cusp Caps:  Not seen.  Cusp Collars: Not seen.
