Imaging Venus

[Mamsoth]

Was interested to know, How long can Venus be imaged before rotational smearing kicks in? I'll be having a go at f/12.5 tonight. Does it follow that because the Venusian atmosphere rotates almost 10 times slower than Jupiter that it can be imaged 10 times longer, or is this poppycock

I have a feeling there must be more to it than that so...any help?

Slight cloud movement may be seen on animations covering hour or more. In general you can record quite long AVIs on Venus, especially in UV.

Thats quality, I'll have plenty 'o' frames to stack then
