Venus 17th July 2010

Shot an hour before sunset tonight. The seeing was ok but not good enough with the UV filter + DMK so this is just a straight RGB from the DBK.

C11 at F30. 600 (C11@ F30 600) stacked.

Gee that's good work without a UV filter John,

Very crisp and smooth, nice job!

Cheers

Very well defined image, seeing must have been steady.Nice work!

[asimov]

Thanks guys. Normally I'd wait until sunset but this time I imaged it about an hour before sunset. Makes all the difference to capture it before it sinks too low, highlighting any nasty conditions.

Great shot. Makes me want to have a go as well

[asimov]

Well I had better eat my words in my first post:lol: The seeing was good enough for a UV capture. Looked like crap at capture time, looked like crap previewing the AVI in registax. Decided on a quick stack & was impressed so I ran it through again with some heavy handed stipulations & this is the result.

[asimov]

The UV-LRGB merge.

:eyepop::thumbsup:Nice stuff

[Screwdriverone]

Cheers

Thanks guys. It's not often I get good planet results from this area but when the seeing comes good you can bet I'll be there ready ;) :D

Thanks for looking/commenting.
