Details:
The sky seemd very clear. Then as I usually do I put my dobson on the table and I waited for the sun to touch the horizon. When more than half of it was under the sea line, at eyepiece its color had already become greenish, especially on the edges: signs that bode well! And in fact this was the case: the last strip of it took on a strong shade of green, like a leaf falling on the sea. I then pointed to Venus that a few degrees from the horizon already appeared as a small line colored from red to yellow to green. The horizont unfortunately was not very clear, so that as it approached the sea it diminished in brightness, until it disappeared before reaching the marine goal.
