First Attempt at Venus
Clear skies tonight, and Venus was easily visible from my front driveway. So, out came the LX200 and I started shooting. Without an Ultra Violet filter, you're not going to get too much surface detail from this bright planet. Still, I was able to capture the current phase (54%), and it looks rather eerie!

Well, this is very nice! If I'm not mistaken, that surface is not entirely uniform, though it's close. I look forward to many more!
Thanks, mate! It's such a bright object to image, and as a result the raw image was difficult to set up.
You've captured the quarter phase of Venus beautifully. A wonderful shot!
Thanks, Ewan!!!
