Venus
My first auccessful attempt at recording cloud detail on Venus (i.e. where I'm actually confident it's not artefacts I'm seeing), yet it was just an afterthought during a visual observing session this afternoon with the old untracked 8" dob. With the weather closing in, there was no time to set up anything else, so this was done with a guide cam, manually tracked. Still a far cry from what we've been seeing on here recently but I'm happy with the result of this impromptu imaging "session"
Good practice for processing better data later on too
8" GSO dob with TMB1.8x ED barlow, ASI120MM, Venus U and Pro Planet IR742. Side observation: The TMB ED barlow passes significantly more UV signal and has significantly less scatter and internal reflections in the UV than the GSO ED barlow, which I realised today is essentially useless for this task.
