I tried not to
process this image too much since things like oversharpening artefacts can
create false halos but I think you can see a very dim brighter outline that may
correspond to atmospheric refraction of the part of Venus still within the dark
corona of the Sun.

And here's my final image with a solar mosaic and second contact using the famous Alan Friedman inverted gray scale scheme to better show off surface details.

I find solar mosaics with the PST really difficult to put together because the
PST has a well known "hot spot" where the image is especially sharp so its hard
to get an even appearance in the final product.
