Whats the focusing like on the beast?

Venus doesn't do focus under tonights conditions, it was really wobbly. I'd say Jordan scale fast spin or thereabouts.

On other stuff its a slow enough 'scope to need about half a turn from obviously too far one way to the other way.

If I had sole access to Hubble for a week, Venus is one target I wouldn't schedule.

If all the conditions were A1 here on the ground for you KK, I don't think you would get a result much better than what you have posted here.

It is a very frustrating object, and personally,The only time I have found it worth the effort, was it's passage across the sun.

But, that is only my take on it, and I certainly don't expect many would agree. Now Mars, well, that's another story.
