In 1761, the Russian polymath Mikhail Vasilievich Lomonosov (1711-1765)discovered the atmosphere of Venus during its transit over the Sun's disc. Inthis paper we report on experimental reenactments of Lomonosov's discovery withantique refractors during the transit of Venus June 5-6, 2012. We conclude thatLomonosov's telescope was fully adequate to the task of detecting the arc oflight around Venus off the Sun's disc during ingress or egress if properexperimental techniques as described by Lomonosov in his 1761 report areemployed.
