Venus through various filters 24.02.2017

[Pete Presland]

All these images were captured during daylight, from between 4:00-4:30pm.  All with the C9.25/Asi120mm combo.

There were lots of clouds, but a few decent gaps also and a few gusty breezes. The seeing wasn't too bad.

I was quite impressed with the view with the 642 filter, it tamed the seeing and also allowed plenty of "signal" through. Might try the Baader 610 filter next time as well.

Nice work, especially capturing these beauties during day light.
