About this image

Observation of Venus I made this evening. The fine dusky patches continue to be observed- other points include:

Bright Limb Band: Visible and complete
Terminator: Geometrically regular
Cusp Caps: Both cusp caps seem to be present- southern cusp cap larger and brighter.
Cusp Collars: Both seen, southern cusp collar much more conspicuous.

Best wishes,

-Paul
