Here is a report performed with the R76mm under average images on best¬moments and operated under a transparent sky.
No bright spot.
AL was more than suspected with the polar filter,full dark side,as shown,¬ with 60x magnification,planet heigth¬38‹,also with a dark orange tint well noted near the terminator and away. Cusp extension was evaluated to¬be more suspected at south and north¬on dark side.
South cusp extension¬was the biggest as shown.
Dark markings on the AL light was there.
The light intensity on dark side was degrading from¬terminator¬towards the dark side limb,full extension with the polar filter and without,at 60x magnifications,the intensity was not reaching a L1 ¬(3 the highest) .
Turning the polar filter by 90‹ extincted¬the light level to a reduced level intensity and extention¬to half of the dark side,so not null,the variation of light remained¬subtil but well noted,its extention¬limited to half of dark side.

Here are other pictures of¬ Venus when it has just passed west of the Sun and now shows an open atmospheric ring while it is 4.5 ‹ from the Sun. The Venusian disc is barely lit at 0.3%.
First images show an almost symetric shap when Venus was at the East of the Sun on May 31st and the second when the planet was passed the West of the Sun on July 6th.
The third image is a hard process of the second by stacking dozen of movies and darking the background and venusian disk. The atmospheric ring wasn't touched of modified. Maybe,my best Venus picture of my life.
Always taken at Br¬tigny-sur-Orge,France with a Takahashi FC100 D + Barlow + ProPlanet filter 742 nm and ZWO ASI Camera 183 MC-S.
