Venus 4.10.2018

[Pete Presland]

Venus has certainly grown since the last time I imaged it.  It has grown from around 16" to a whopping 49" with a phase of 13%. Going to try and at least match the 2.2% slender crescent of last spring, much harder this time around due to the location of Venus. Its only 16 degrees high when it transits the meridian.

No chance of a decent UV image, so taken with an 807 Proplanet filter, the usual C9.25/Asi290mm combo.

Beautiful crescent, Pete!
