Very nice   Looks like there might even be some detail on the side that isn't directly lit, unless that's some sort of JPEG artefact.

It was a truly lovely sight last night which I didn't get to take a photo of so thank you Helen

And you have captured a gorgeous disc with Venus...

What was your exposure and lens?

[Helen]

Thanks

The details are: Canon 1100d, Canon EF135L lens @ f2.0, ISO 800 and 1/15 sec exposure.  I played around with different exposures and this seemed to give the best balance.  The only processing was one run through of Steve (Steppenwolf)'s red rim reduction in PS and then cropping.
