Colour Venus at 5% - 14/3/17 (ASI290MC)

[Owmuchonomy]

Well I thought my 8% image from a few days ago (9th) was my last but I squeezed in a daylight capture from tonight at about 5pm before it disappeared.  Tonight it is 5% illuminated, 56.4" in size and mag -4.3.  In fact, using the ASI290MC native with the C9.25 resulted in a much better colour rendition than with the 2x powermate.  So this is at 0.35" per pixel, 18% stack from 5500 frames.  I am quite pleased I managed to catch another crescent.  Forecast is good tomorrow too so fingers crossed.
