Venus evening of 22/5/18

[mikeDnight]

Attached is a daylight observation of Venus made on 22nd May, and along with the finished sketch is the original eyepiece drawing. It may be of interest that the 18mm Celestron Ultimas revealed the subtle cloud top detail more easily than my 16.8mm Abbe Orthoscopics. So, it may be worth trying different eyepieces with Venus if the detail is elusive.

Very nice Mike, 
I like the working drawing and finished item, 
glad its not just me that does this.

That's a good one! Lots of detail.

Lovely sketch, always good to see some subtle detail coming through.

Great sketch. Wow, that's quite a bit of detail. It IS worth trying different EPs on Venus.
