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

This has to be some processing artifact, Venus' atmosphere isn't that large
in diameter is it?

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?
