Venus Halo imaged anyone?

Halo or
The aureole effect

Has anything been mentioned of this on IIS?

If any of us have captured it then that's amateur proof of Venus atmosphere.

This link is quite well put together, enjoy.

I noted that I could still see a line of red on the preceding side of the disk in my Ha scope after others had called third contact. As I was in Hawaii it was quite low so there was a lot of movement in the image, but it could also have been the halo.
