Re: [OM] IMG: celestial show

I understand clipped is clipped but I had expected Venus to be clipped 
over a larger diameter.  But after your comment I decided to go lookup 
the angular diameters of each.  Jupiter ranges from (rounded) 30-49' and 
Venus from 10-63'.  While Jupiter never gets as large in the sky as 
Venus at maximum it's quite possible for them to appear as nearly the 
same size.  I have no idea what sizes are appearing right now but 
suspect that they can't be too far apart in apparent size.
Is there such a thing as digital halation?
