Narayan,
You won't get detail on Venus, you'll only get the phase. Some amateurs *have* extracted some detail in the cloud tops of Venus, but with very specialised equipment and methods. Steve Massey is one of them, he had an article in one of the mags a while ago about it, i'll try and find it.

So just concentrate on getting the phase, and you'll probably need a lot of RGB shift in registax after it's stacked.

Also don't forget that the Jetstream is right overhead us in Sydney at the moment, so seeing (for webcam imaging) is absolutely shocking.
