Mercury (IR) & Venus (UV) 2013-10-07

Well here's something that doesn't happen often.

Struggled with wind, clouds, jetstream, and really shifty seeing to try and get Mercury and Venus starting at around 4:30pm local time.

The videos all just looked so awful, I was not motivated to rush in and stack them, as I usually am.

They sat around on the HDD until tonight when I eventually worked up the motivation to have a look at what I'd caught. But on stacking, the Mercury is possibly my best result so far, and the Venus has reasonable detail, and is one of the better images of this elongation!
