As you know Venus joined the girls (Seven Sisters) for a party last night.
A beautiful sight to see Venus amongst The Pleiades, so I set up my scope from early hoping to get some shots.
Well the party didn't last too long, clouds rolled in and spoiled it all just as I was starting.

Anyway I managed to get 30 seconds worth of data.
This was the result, taken through the TOA 130 (handheld

) using the 5D MkII at ISO 3200 and stacking 30 x 1 sec frames.
I've also included a labeled version.
Oh well at least it was fun setting up the gear again.
Thanks for looking.
