Venus & Mercury Tonight 2nd Aug
Venus is almost gone from view in our evening sky - but until then I thought I'd grab the opportunity for another capture. Jet stream prediction was promising but the reality was terrible - fine focus was nothing more than dumb luck in the bubbling mess but was happy I got a couple of images to clean up ok.
6min captures, IR850 7ms, adjusted exposure to hit about 40-50% on the histogram. Captured between 5:30-6pm.
What struck me as soon as I shifted to Mercury was the incredible size difference. I thought a nice way to present this was a side-by-side comparison which I assembled in GIMP.

Might try again tomorrow if the weather cooperates!
Thanks for looking!
