Hi all

Following up from yesterdays Venus imaging of the planets night side (thermal emission from the surface at 1um), I had another go tonight and the seeing was somewhat more forgiving allowing me to try a longer exposure. The night side limb seen this 1-micron image shows up far better than yesterdays effort and there is a very obvious dark patch at lower right. I have not processed or subtracted light and dark frames as yet to clean up the image but the result looks promising. 500 stacked images here.
