Venus is back

One of my favourite astro pursuits - daytime planet spotting. Managed to find Venus a degree and a half E of the Sun yesterday. Superior conjunction wasn't all that long ago. Today's Soho pic attached & rotated to illustrate position (credit: SOHO LASCO C2) . Disk very obvious at 90x
