Venus this morning Sept 27


Werisit

Recommended Posts

A clear sky got me out of bed this morning to have a look at Venus. Then, of course, I just had to image it!

So this is with the ASI 120 colour camera on the ST 102, flip mirror diagonal (working well) and a 4x image mate all mounted on the old Az3 manual alt az. So it is possible to hand guide at 2,000mm focal length for planetary.

A bit of processing to get some contrast as the sky was bright by this time.

It was just possible to see it naked eye at this time, using SkEye to point me in the right direction. The sun was still below the house next door.
