Venus clouds in UV - 26th February 2020

Some hints of interesting cloud detail showing. Still waiting for some good seeing to really capture it.

Captured with UV and IR filters, c. 7000 frames for each channel. Green channel made from 50% UV and 50% IR . 3x Televue Barlow, Omegon RC8 (effective focal length 4800) and a ZWO ASI 290MM Mini Mono camera.

That's genuinely fantastic Luke. I'm very impressed!

Very impressive

  It didn't look that good through my 80ED earlier 😁.

Superb Luke, i think that's your best image to date. Very nicely processed, not too much, not too little, excellent!

Excellent!

Many thanks for the positive comments.

Upgrading to a 290MM camera has helped hugely. Its remarkably sensitive sensor enables much shorter exposures than I managed previously.
