Rapidly changing Venus!

[Pete Presland]

When I imaged Venus last Friday the was Phase: 20.8%, the Diameter: 43.85". Tonight the phase had decreased to 15.1%, but the Diameter had grown to a impressive 48.26". I might struggle to get in the ROI=512x440 next time!

Both images from around 4.45pm. The first image is with the Astronomic 642 filter and the second with the Baader U filter. Once o uploaded the images I realised I hadn't cropped them to removing some of the stacking artefacts.
