Venus Fri. 9th

Shot under really yucky conditions...23 acceptable frames out of 300 :lol:

6" refractor + toUcam.

Gee Asi, that is a very nice image indeed, with a terrific image scale. No colour fringe either. Good job!

Cheers

Thanks Dennis.

I'd like to get venus in good seeing before she disappears. I made another extension tube to get better image scale. I now have 280mm of barlow/tube/toucam sticking out past the diagonal :D

Hi Asi, nice to see you mixing it up with a bit of Venus :P. I gave a it a go a while back but there's only so much you can get out of featureless white crescent - been meaning to have a go with a violet filter to see if any cloud patterns show up. Anyway nice pic.


cheers,

A bit blurry for my taste, but it's ok I guess. It was really more of an image scale experiment, & I chucked it on for a giggle! I know what you mean about the featureless white cresent though.

Thanks Trevor/Rob/Robert.
