Thin Venus in Vis. and IR light

Hi all
Located Venus in daylight round 3pm thisarvo, very large thin crescent as it rapidly moves westward to conjunction.

Used my modded Toucam, with 2 and 2.8x barlow for the colour vis. light shot (5.6x total magnification) with 10 inch f5.6 newtonian

The IR monochrome shot is with just the 2x barlow, and 800nm cutoff IR filter

Both a 30 sec run stacked and processed in Registax

venus located with Argo Navis after aligning on the Sun. Was all too easy to find
