That's a rather atmospheric image Pete, no pun intended.

Hi Pete,

Perfect weather (so far) here in the southeastern Mediterranean.
Anxiously waiting for the second half (reappearance).

I was impressed how bright Venus appeared .. and especially in relation
to the moon.

Back within the hour with lots of material.

Good luck with the second half of the occultation.

Anthony.

Hey, at least you got to see it. No such luck for us North Americans.

Nice picture, too.
