Venus at 54 arcsec, 6 August 07

Has been very cloudy/rainy here lately, but I got some small breaks between clouds tonight, and managed to get an image of Venus - huge, 54 arcseconds diameter! I was set up for ages waiting for a glimpse, but by the time I got it, it was pretty low & shimmery. Earlier in bluer skies would have been great. Blue channel was all over the place - just did best I could with RGB align in Registax (not that colour's a real issue here!!).

Very happy to get what I got, even if it's a bit fuzzy!

Cheers -
