Details:
Today, with Venus shining at only 0.5% illumination, I wanted to see if there is any traces of the 'horn-shape' crescent. I pushed the processing as much as possible, brightening the dark areas, without getting any artificial artifact.
The initial results seems to show that the crescent shape does extended well beyond 180 degrees around the limb.
The inverted image also shows the same.
It would be interesting to see if tomorrow will yield clearer results.
