First attempt at Venus clouds in UV

SPX350 F29.9 with 5xPowermate, EQ6, DMK21AF, Astrodon UVenus filter and W47.

Two images one on the 1st and the other on the 4th.

First image has RG filters and W47 as blue as cloud prevented me getting the UV and secondimage is of just UV.

I have just moved to Cleveland in Bris from UK and the seeing here so far has been poor with a wobbly image every night even the moon was terrible the week before. Does this JetStream ever break as it seems to be a daily phenomenon without let up.

My 14" OrionOptics Newt does not stand a chance at the moment but I did get some contrast with the Astrodon UVenus which was better than the Wratten 47 but only slightly, cloud on Venus may not be prominent but it is my first try at this planet.

Thanks for looking, JohnH.
