I was inspired enough by tonight's lunar-venus-jove 'smiley face' conjunction to set up and capture some AVIs of Venus.
I've not imaged this planet for a while, but it's quite well placed at the moment.
I can't wait until my new UV filter arrives, so I can capture more definite detail in the Venusian cloud tops.
Until then...it's good old RGB.
If you look closely, you can still make out a hint of ruddy (brownish) detail cutting across the central region of the planet...and there's a little more at lower left.
Anyway, it's my contribution to mark a special evening
