Venus, September 6

Well, I've had my new camera for about 2 weeks now, and guess what? It's been cloudy & raining almost the whole time. In fact, the only times it has cleared up was when I was away for a few days on business...

Okay, so this image is a bit old, but I haven't had *any* clear weather since then to grab anything better. I took this the day after the camera arrived, and it was new moon so Venus was the best bet.

I'm also about 1/2 way through building the 13.1" new scope, the wait for the new mirror is *killing me* :-)

Image details:

Scope: 10" f/6 newtonian
Camera: Dragonfly Express, 5x powermate
Filters: Green filter

2000 frames, exposure 20ms.
Resampled 1.5x in registax
