Details:
I have observed inferior conjunction of Venus on 08.01.2022 on Tenerife "in the shadow of the Teide and the large observatories". Unfortunately, the conditions were far from ideal. The transparency was very good, but the seeing was more than modest. A strong jet stream destroyed my dreams of a perfect crescent with overlapping horns. Because of wind I could not use the lens shading against direct sunlight, so unfortunately there were minor reflections in the tube.
The image is taken from 08.01.2022 at 15h26 UT, at this time the distance of Venus to the sun center was minimal with 4.75 degrees. The exact time of the lower conjunction was 09.01.2022 around 02h00 UT.
