Venus continues to decrease in size and the bright interference from the dayside crescent is increasing, making it more difficult to see anything on the night side. However we can see some bright (warm) features, including a prominent spot in the "notch" along the northern edge of Aphrodite Terra as well as a faint brighter spot on the limb further north.
Out of interest here's a comparison between yesterdays data and this morning (attached). I originally decided not to post yesterday as the image quality was not that great (thanks to cloud and interruptions during capture) but it does make for an interesting animation. There seems to be a warm cloud (?) moving across Aphrodite Terra.
