Venus 10/5/23

Tracked down Venus late yesterday afternoon and luckily it's now setting into the trees as opposed to over my roof so the image is much more stable. She's approaching her 3rd quarter phase and looking marvellous!
Thought I'd try with the asi462mc without any filters to take advantage of IR sensitivity. Come out cleaner than my previous attempt (perhaps more the local seeing conditions than anything else). Still not any obvious surface detail revealed (or maybe just a hint of it perhaps if I squint)
