Venus this afternoon

About this image

An observation of Venus I made this afternoon. Seeing was rather poor and it was also rather windy at times, still there were a number of things of interest. It seems that there was a dark streak to the far south, and some further markings on the disk centre. Also:

Bright Limb Band: Visible and complete
Terminator: Geometrically regular.
Cusp Caps: It seemed to me that the southern cusp was brighter- this was also true in the W15 filter.
Cusp collars: Not sure- may have been visible.
