RE: [APML] A Different View of Venus' Atmosphere?

Given the processing that was performed, I don't think one can say.  Need to
see an unprocessed view, and perhaps one that hasn't gone thru' a jpeg step
coming from the camera. (I don't recall if the Canon stores everything
internally as jpeg, or if it has a tiff/raw capability.)

Congratulations, Jerry, for your accomplishment.

I'm surprised no one else has brought this up, but it appears to me that the
image posted by Vincent Peris and Juan Conejero,

http://pleiades-astrophoto.com/2004/venus_transit/venus_transit_1.en.html

also shows Venus' atmosphere, albeit in a different manner. Something is
causing the granulation on the solar surface to look different near Venus.
This is most apparent in the hi-res version of the image.

Is this an imaging artifact, or an effect of Venus' atmosphere?
