Venus 18th March

Been at least 6months since I've captured this beautiful goddess! It's pretty hard to miss her in the evening sky when it's clear such a beautiful sight!

Unfortunately positioned right over the roof of my house in the late afternoon its hard to get a stable image but happy to get an something although even in IR850 none of that fancy detail some others can achieve .

As a side note - afterwards I also did a bit of a visual session on Venus - put the binoviewers on and for the first time ever tried out this very old Meade variable polariser eyepiece. Wow that was quite spectacular actually. With the image dimmed right down (sky appearing pitch black in the afternoon sky) Venus lost her colour dispersion and you could catch her gibbous shape and a positively 3D appearance. Beautiful!!
