That looks really great. :thumbsup:

Venus is one thing I never get to see much of through the scope because I don't usually get outside until the kids are in bed. If only it would stay up a bit later. :D

Lovely image LKE.
It always looks so mysterious all shrouded in cloud.

Clouds of Sulphuric Acid at that !
I see Venus each evening at the moment but it is too low to observe from my usual setup position. Might have a look with my little Meade 90mm Mak this evening.
