A terrific capture Steve, I would love to have the chance to have tried it as well. Did you use goto to locate Venus?

Yes

I aligned the mount last night and parked it up and using the herscel wedge centred the sun and synced it up and then goto-ed to venus , checked to make sure the sun was not in the FOV.

Last night when i was imaging luna I marked the focus tube so i was about in focus and there was venus - off to one side in the camera on the screen

Still on my to do list. I saw the separation was around 6 degrees at conjunction, it really races away quickly though, already double that now.

I was hoping to get a few more as it moved away and is getting smaller but no luck due to clouds so far.
