Jupiter, to the left, has entered the C3 field of view.

Victor,
A query on that site produces a Zip file. It might be easier for folks to go
to this site, and look at the LASCO C3 image.

Even at inferior conjunction, Venus was separated from the sun by nearly 8
degrees, so it barely clips the bottom of the wide-field frame. It will miss
the LASCO C3 frame completely during the next inferior conjunction in March of
2017.
