Venus 01 June 2021

[Peter_D]

Hi,

I had a go at imaging Venus this evening - it was 21:30 local time so around 12 degrees eleveation. I used a flip mirror with a zoom lens that really helped centring the planet on the camera's chip. 5000 images, best 20% used.

At least it was good practice for Jupiter and Saturn!

Equipment: Meade 2080, Zwo asi224mc, 1.5x Barlow, Baader UV-IR Cut filter.

Thanks for looking

Peter

Very nicely captured, the gibous phase clearly visible.
