We are seeking context observations of Venus provided by amateur astronomers to enhance the scientific return of the BepiColombo flyby in October 15, 2020. To that end, we encourage amateur observers to observe Venus in mid-July, late August and mid-October 2020. Observations around 11 July 2020 will be used to support the analysis of data acquired during the 3rd flyby of Venus by the Parker Solar Probe (NASA) on 11 July 2020.
