Comments: Hi,I imaged Venus this morning a couple of hours after sunrise in excellent seeing conditions.
Venus was elevated 48 degrees at the time of capture which was 12:34 UT.
Our sister planet's diameter is 37.58" with a phase illumination of 26.3% and its distance has increased to .444 AU.
It is interesting to see how quickly its size and shape changes with each passing day. In this image north is up.
