Venus Inferior Conjunction

Hi Wescott,
I attached a picture that I took of Venus' March 25th inferior conjunction.  I took it at 2pm on the 26th because of overcast on the 25th.  I took it through my 8" newtonian at prime focus.  Venus passed the sun on its north side so I placed the scope on the north side of the house with the sun barely hidden behind the eve of the roof.  That way no sunlight entered the tube of the scope.  I added a polarizing filter to darken the sky and it worked great.  You can add it on the clubs blog site, if you would please.
Thanks , Ron Pugh
