Black-drop - is it real?

You are saying the Venus atmosphere was very obvious, visually? I am
wondering what type of telescope and solar filter you were using. I
had hoped to see this, but I never did. I was using a glass solar
filter, which I think made it way to dark for observing the Venus
atmosphere.

I used a 185mm f/16 (3m f.l.) home made Maksutov Cassegrain with
Baader "photographic" filter (ND=3.8). Venus was only ~20 degrees
above the horison from my site.

Have you a web site that your images are posted?

No. I may find something appropriate though, I'll post the address.
