Details:
Completed the trace of Venus in 2015.
In 2015 Venus reached the inferior conjunction on August 14, and before that Venus was seen as the evening Vesper, and after that as the morning Lucifer.
Venus was changing its shape (phase) and apparent diameter during a whole year 2015, so this year is very suitable for observation of Venus (while year 2016 is not suitable at all!)
It was unfortunate that I had no chance to take a photo during September, however, I was lucky to take a daytime crescent Venus near the inferior conjunction.
The trace of Venus was shown against the sun, with its images magnified x340 to the grid.
Nikon COOLPIX P510/P610 (no telescope); f=1000mm/1440mm (trimmed and rotated)
