Lovely to see this through my 6-inch Dob.
Need to take great care, given its location close to the Sun.

Here is an image from today, January 3rd.
I think the weather will not cooperate over the next few days to get more images.

Image from today, January 4. Turned out to be a clearer day than I expected.
Looks like we won't get the complete circle this inferior conjunction.

Observed Venus today just at inferior conjunction. Wife confirmed the observation :lol:
Daredevil Astronomy.
Could not get an image as clouds were such a pest.
Hopefully next time.
