[Shiraz (Ray)]

Venus is about to drop down between us and the Sun. Attached is a summary of how it has appeared over the months from back in April, when it was a tiny dot coming up from the other side of the sun.

The images are of widely varying quality, since I did not have access to a proper imaging system through most of August - however, even the poor quality images are useful for this type of presentation and it has been fun to follow the progress of our sister planet over the months.

thanks for looking.
