Title: Daylight Venus Occultation
Description: This Venus occultation photo is a collaborative work from Cui Yongjiang and Shi Zexing, taken at around 6:20 UTC, Feb 26 in Yunnan, China. Blessed with crystal clear sky, Cui and Shi managed to capture the two crescents in broad daylight with a Canon 5D Mark ii attached to an 102ED refractor.
"The duo were readily visible to unaided eyes prior to the occultation, in broad daylight! What an unforgettable view!", said Cui and Shi. Sadly, some low level haze and cloud prevented them from capturing the ending phase of the occultation.
