Venus August 9th

[RichardJ (Richard)]

Venus from this morning. Inferior conjunction is on August 13th.
Lovely view through the 72mm Evostar. Crescent Venus on a blue sky background.

You have to be very careful doing this type of observing. No margin for error!

Fantastic shot Richard. Did you have to use some kind of shield (other than dewshield) to block reflections from the sun?

Fabulous image, Richard.

Keeping fingers crossed for clear skies at closest conjunction.

Hi David,
Just the dew shield at this stage.
