Thanks Kostas. New 462 mono has arrived so this will be the last Venus with the noisy old cam. Can't believe this weather!

Looking forward to the images.

Where did you order it from?

Thanks Steve. Good  seeing makes life easy. Have you managed any more UV sessions?

I tried the early in the week but it was very poor,  have been feeling under the weather for a couple of weeks so have not done much.

I have some solar data thats been sitting in the folder for a week.

Getting better

Vey nice and interesting experiment.

I have had an awful time trying to get focus with my UV on venus this time , any tips?

Quick dabble at the new SN

15 x 300 secs with the 200mm RC and the QSI cam

do the clicky dance for full res

Ha lunt 60 with coronado RFT as D/S and 178 cam

Do the clicky dance for full res.

Glad to hear it.

Could you send a bit of clear up here for us to try out this seeing please.

Lovely images Kon

That looks very good! Nice clouds.

You are very kind to say so.

Need to up my game I think.

Venus on a diet taken with 200mm f5 newt and x2.5 powermate with PGR Blackfly cam with cover glass removed.

The ones with the x5 PM were a watse of time.

I would post my results from the other day but would get laughed at .

I have had only 2 imaging runs of venus this time round and as mentioned the weather does not look promising any time soon.

Backgroud may be a bit dark this time but it was a bit mottled.

Very good

Very nice.

That's a bit of a surprise. Your image shows hints of small Ha regions. Adding Ha could really give this image another dimension.

I too was surprised, maybe the conditions were worse than I thought.

Measuring you background sky 'per channel' in Ps gives this result:

Your blue values are almost double the other channels.  This is a check I always perform regularly throughout the processing.

Thanks for the info and help Olly.

New process will hopefully be done over the weekend.

Thanks folks
