The report summarizes the results of an analysis of 250 photo-visual observation submitted to the ALPO Venus Section during the 2004-05 Western (Morning) Apparition by observers located in many countries. Types of telescopes employed when making these observations and data sources are discussed, along with comparative studies of visual and photographic data. The apparition report is basedon images at visible, UV, and IR wavelenghths, as well as drawings made in integrated light and with color filters. Included is a contin uing statistical analysis of the categories of markings seen or suspected at visible wavelengths in the atmosphere of Venus, plus notes on the extent and prominence of the planet's cusps, cusc-caps, and cusp-bands. Terminator irregularities and the apparent phase are also described, as well as the status of the continued monitoring of the dark hemisphere of Venus for the Ashen Light.
