Venus shimmering in the haze

[lukebl]

No chance of any sharp captures of Venus here at the moment due to the seeing. But quite mesmerising to watch the beautiful shimmering crescent.

Here's an animation of a few 12ms frames captured this evening through the Baader UV filter.. Omegon RC8, Atik 428ex, 3x barlow.

Its going to get harder and harder over the next couple of weeks.
