Venus false colour - my best yet.

[CraigT82]

Made this false colour venus image using a UV data from 9th April and IR data from the 10th April (as I didn't capture any IR on the 9th). As the IR channel is generally featureless I didnt see any issue doing this, just needed to align and resize the IR slightly to match. 

90k frames of UV and same IR. 20% stacked for each and synthetic green made from a 50/50 mix. 

Fullerscope 8.75" newt with APM 2.7x barlow. Altair GPCAM 290m with Baader UV and ZWO 850nm filters.

Image resized 200%. North up.

Yes I've been getting more impressed with it everytime I use it lately. The great seeing on the 9th really allowed it to show it's mettle.  I had it up for sale a while ago but now very glad I had no takers.

cracking image.  i had a 8” fullerscope once, frankly i wish i still had it. It was a beaut.  

[robbymain]

Extraordinary stuff! Well done 😃

[Waddensky]

Wonderful! What a detail!

[Paul M]

It just gets better! A world class image.

The scope can only take some of the credit for your success

[Ibbo!]

That is a cracking image.

[CraigT82]

Thank's for the kind words everyone.

Have been experimenting by adding the UV data from the 9th onto the colour data I captured on the 10th with a GPCAM3 224c.

More of a true colour view I think with the normally cloud detail coming from the UV.

Thank you that's very kind of you to say that.

Absolutely stunning@CraigT82

Lovely image. What time of day are you shooting Venus and approximately what altitude is it? I've shot Venus both daytime and evening, but only in IR. I haven't tried daytime since buying the UV filter.

Great result, aesthetically pleasing as well.

I'm shooting in blue skies from about 6.30 - 8.00pm ish when it disappears behind a tree. Altitude about 50 degrees down to 40 degrees.

No it doesnt look anything like that through mine either... it's the miracle that is fast cameras and stacking!
