Incredibly quite still, bit still a beautiful sharp image.

Fine faint detail visible in those images!

Love seeing the movement of the plasma!

Superb! A lovely amount of Proms around the disc.

very nice

Very nicely imaged.

Fantastic animation, shame about the flats, but some great detail there.

Cracking looking Prom visible there.

Nice looking disc and some nice proms visible.

superb looking disc.

Hopefully it stays together long enough for the UK to get a look at it.

Lovely looking image, well captured and presented. Amazing to see how the phase and size has changed over the year. P.S. might be worth asking a mod to move this to the "planetary imaging section" as well.

On 1st view it does look the sharpest image, but that is at the expensive of the "Onion ring" effect. This is not visible at all in the last (blue) image, i could have probably sharpened it at little more to be honest.

I am going to try and catch Venus every couple of days for as long possible/safe to do so. Still doing a UV image, but more interested in the thinnest crescent possible. Yesterday evening i imaged in UV, then IR. I have been using the Astronomik 807 Proplanet for the I/R images. The seeing was excellent last night, when i was imaging so i tried my Blue filter that was in the wheel from previous RGB sessions. I was very surprised that it was far sharper and more stable than the 807 filter, despite the settings being very similar. I have been getting a bit of an "onion ring" effect, but that vanished immediately. ALL images with C9.25, Asi290mm, X1.8 Barlow. Top image is UV, middle 807 filter, bottom blue filter.

Going to definitely give the obsy a lick of paint inside and the roof.

Thanks for the link, its a stunning image. I looked on their website http://www.gemini.edu/pr/gemini-gets-lucky-and-takes-deep-dive-jupiter-s-clouds there is some really interesting information on there as well.

Some nice detail there, you could always check your image details against images on GONG. https://gong2.nso.edu/products/mainView/table.php?configFile=configs/mainView.cfg

Some really nice detail there. Some nice activity towards the poles, typical of the beginnings of new cycle activity i believe.

Some very nice detail visible there.

WOW, look at that! That is proper thin! I think i managed a 3 degree phase last time. You are correct John, isn't it going to be a couple of degrees away from the Sun at opposition this time, as opposed to 8 degrees last time?

Lovely little crescent there.

Lovely sharp image.

Nicely captured, i would maybe shorten the exposure slightly if you capture it again. This also might help beat the seeing as well.

Lovely crescent Venus.
