Venus 5 January

Got a clear view this morning, quite unexpectedly and after weeks of cloud.
A brighter version of the IR shot gives an idea of the cusp extensions - not much different from yesterday as per RichardJ's images.

This will be a wide conjunction. I expect no annular phase but perhaps a 75% complete ring for whoever manages to see it on Sunday. Full circle won't happen again until 2028.
