The result from these UV captures of Venus was better than it looked like it would be on the live feed. We see a modification of the chevron shape of the darker areas (less UV) versus the more classic V visible in recent times. What I find interesting is that the darker areas look to be at lower level in the atmosphere, whilst there seems to be a lighter coloured cloud formation at a higher altitude over the top. This is best seen on the bottom dark band which goes from top left to bottom right. It seems to my eye that across it, in an orthogonal direction, lies three bands of lighter coloured cloud. You can trace this out across the dark areas further north but it is more diffuse there. I made a coloured overlay to map this out according to what my eye can see, but frankly I am too embarrassed to put it up here, lest someone more knowledgeable tells me I am talking through my hat.〓 :-) Perhaps Paul, Ricardo or Agustin can shed some light on this.[Niall MacNeill : Wattle Flat,NSW,Australia]
