Venus Crescent 11th August

A surprise and welcome cloud gap gave me enough time to capture Venus just 7 arc mins from closest approach here. Separation was 7 deg 47 arc mins.

Quite pleased with the outcome given only 4 inches of aperture and 1600mm focal length - Vixen ED103S plus 2X barlow and ASI385 OSC. Best 2K of 50K frames.

My cardboard, wood and tape Sun shield worked a treat.
