Venus Apr 12 - UV+RGB

I continue to experiment with different methods of capturing and processing Venus. This image is a UV+RGB, so the colour is real only the saturation has been boosted, and the UV provides contrast.

C11 + Orion RGB filters and Custom Scientific U filter + Televue 3x Barlow + DMK21AU04.AS camera.

Each channel is a stack of 3000 out of a total of 4000 frames. AS!2 with around 30 APs.

I tried the U channel at 1/15 s exposure, which gave about 50% histogram, and 1/30 s which gave only 25% histogram. The 1/15s video gave a better stack.

The clouds are doing some interesting things on Venus.
