Attached is an observation of Venus I made this afternoon when the planet was high up in the daytime sky. Seeing was only around AIV, and frequent passing cloud was a nuisance, however it is nice to make a start on the new 2021-2022 eastern elongation. In general, little was seen on the disk except for a vague cloud patch near the planet's equator. No other brighter spots or cloud markings were seen. Cusp Caps: The souther cusp cap *may* have been fractionally brighter, it was much easier to see as the southern cusp collar was seen. However I could not make out the cusp collar nor the northern cusp.[Paul G. Abel:Leicester:United Kingdom]
