Dear science and astronomy friends,

Dear VIDUR and other fellows taking measurements, do not rely on comments of
wrong readings, experimental results may give minute errors not the grave
errors. carry on and GOOD LUCK.

Do not be disheartened, Last week venus elongation was 45.8 degree and Week
before that was 45.4 degree. and today nearly 46 degree. so is not so much of
difference as we thought of 3 degrees. and at the extreme end of the maximum
elongation daily change is nearly >0.1 degree. I wish make sure of such a vast
difference may be an error. wish every one make recheck of data. Venus was
nearly 45 since more than 2-3 weeks.

(sun and Venus for your date of observation . It is ~ 43 degrees compared to the
~ 54 dgrees you have measured.This should give you a feel for the method.)
