Well done !!
I had one attempt years ago with my DSLR and Newt and all I got was a glowing small blob
I leave it to you folk who have suitable planetary rigs

Thanks Martin. As you say there’s not much detail unless you’re using special filters to pick up UV but I find it quite interesting with the changing phases. Unlike most astronomical targets its challenge is the high brightness so no real need for big aperture rigs for Venus. A good afternoon target while you wait for the night sky
