Venus: Observations
Scientific paper
The report summarizes the outcome of an analysis of 200 photo-visual observations submitted to the ALPO Venus Section during the 2002-2003 Western (Morning) Apparition by observers residing in Italy, Germany, Belgium, Puerto Rico, and the United States. 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 based on images and drawings made in integrated light and with color filters, including a statistical analysis of the categories of markings seen or suspected at visual wavelengths in the atmosphere of Venus, plus notes on the extent and prominence of the planet's cusps, cusp-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.
