Misplaced a decimal point in the Venusian radius. I now see total
occultation.

Thanks much for that honest info.

I think we're both off by some +/- factor, as I'm not at all that
certain that VL2 = 100% occultation unless you're giving something
better than 150 km worth of added radius as due to that Venus cloud
layer, and otherwise only taking into account for the actual solar
surface.

VL2 is also a bit of a halo station-keeping orbit, and thereby the outer
portions of the flaming solar atmosphere should be giving VL2 at least
some degree of direct solar influx.

I guess that I'll have to redo my best swag and report back.
