Limb darkening measurements of the thermal radiation from Venus at 5, 9, 11, 13 and 18 μ are presented. This data, produced by deconvolving the observations with a measured instrumental response function, indicates a complex atmospheric structure which will require careful atmospheric modeling to fully interpret.
