Venus and Jupiter

Hi all,

here is a featureless Venus from two nights ago and another Jupiter from 1st Sep in good seeing.

I removed as much of the CA (from atmospheric dispersion) as I could from Venus. The blue colour across most of Venus's disk was quite persistent however whereas the red on the brightly lit limb was a relatively narrow arc.
I did see an image of Venus on FB that used a polarising filter and seemed to show some detail. Anyone know much about this method?

The Jupiter image shows a bit more detail than my other image from earlier in the evening. Io is just off the limb and the GRS is disappearing from view round the limb.

C & CC welcome as always.
