Venus is well on its way to solar conjunction now, but I wanted to capture one last image of it before it's gone for another few months.
It's a second light image for my Schuler UV filter, and took images in RGB white light as well to create a false-colour Venus.
Venus was only 20deg altitude and the UV channel presents a tough target as it's very dim. I captured at 7.5fps (1/8s exposure) and it needed much, much more exposure.
The good news is, this image is the last from my sessions on Mon/Tue morning and now I can archive the data, clearing space for next time, and get to processing the DSO images taken on those nights :)
Thanks for looking.
