Nothing to write home about here people.

Terrible seeing as usual. 33 stacked frames.

6" refractor & toucam.

Excellent capture! just like Paul's (1ponders) shot of the moon last night.

Good to see someone still chasing Venus in cresent mode

"Nothing to write home about".... he says.

Mate I love this shot, it's an amazing look.

Thanks all.

As I said in an earlier thread, I'll be out there trying for venus until it's not possible to image it anymore...only a matter of a couple of weeks left I would imagine?

BTW I've been shooting these 3-4 hours before sunset...It's a ***** to find though!

When it's finished clouding over...

I'm gonna have a go at shooting it at zenith.
