Venus In Daylight 17/12/18

[Les Ewan]

I don't normally do well seeing Venus with the naked eye in the daytime but its so bright just now even I can pick it out long after Sunrise.This helped me easily centre the planet with the finderscope.

The image was taken a 09:30 yesterday morning using a Canon 1100D.Ex 1/250 sec ISO 100.The camera was coupled to a 21mm  Celestron Ultima eyepiece using a 300mm f4.4 Newtonian. I did a little tweaking with Faststone.
