There's been quite a bit of interest in Mars and Saturn recently (and rightly so), but meanwhile Venus is moving towards greatest east elongation and providing some imaging opportunities in the early evenings.
Normally I only do monochrome for Venus, but this time I decided to try LRGB (actually RRGB, I used a #25R for the luminance channel). I think it looks a little better than straight monochrome. Hoping to get a UV filter soon and try for some cloud detail.
This is with a C11 + TV 2.5x Powermate + DMK21AU04, stacked with Autostakkert! 2 and at the native image scale.
Hope you enjoy.
