[Jeff Hopkins <phxjeff@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There has been a great deal o discussion the last couple of days on 
whether or not an atmosphere of Venus could be seen during the 
transit on 8 June 2004.

I did some processing on one of my images and have tried to enhance 
what I believe is the atmosphere of Venus.

Note:
What I am amazed at is how right-between-the-eyes the effect was on 
the computer monitor. There was most obvious a simmering clear or 
near-clear ring around Venus.

I'm surprised there has been little professional information about 
this and I recall no mention of it in an pre-transit documentation.
