[lepton3 (Ivan)]

Quite poor seeing this afternoon, but thought I would have a go at Venus with the new Televue 3x Barlow anyhow. And glad I did, because compared to the 2.5x powermate it gives a nice large image scale, with more transmission at UV (I guess there's just less glass).

This image is constructed a bit differently to my last: here I used UV as luminance, with a normal RGB for colour. I had to do quite a bit of filtering because of the poor seeing at UV, so please excuse the numerous artifacts. Native scale, not resized.

Hope you like seeing a Venus for a change.
