Hi Antoine, thanks for reviewing my daytime Venus,

I may need more practise at splitting the disc of Venus with the line of the horizon,I get such a thrill when Venus pops into sight in the scope that my concentration may lapse a bit and i forget that the devil is in the details!
Thanks again Paul W Jackson.

Thank you Paul for your digital photo.

I printed it, and although it is a bit "dark", when getting back to my computer screen, I was able to "guessread" :

UT Date / Time of Observation : 08 Sep 2010 / UT=01h28m16s0

From DR S3648.0E17448.0, with HOE=6.3 ft and Venus Sextant Height=60�38'8 (corrected for Sextant Error), assuming that you shot "Venus center of light" over the horizon, and with TT-UT=67.0s I got the following results :

Intercept = +1.3 NM (i.e. Towards Venus) and Azimut = 047�9

Thank you again

Antoine
