Venus 8" Dob

[Kon]

I had a try on getting a pic of Venus tonight. Venus was like a disco light so quite pleased it came out like this. 1min movie on eye projection, 8.8mm ES 82, 2x barlow. Stacked in Siril. what do you think is that a good Venus representation? Do I expect to get more? Stellarium for comparison.

That sucks. I hope that later in the year it might be more visible for you.

What camera did you use? Thanks

Looks pretty good to me. I would try say a little over exposed though, even though the phase is showing very nicely. As for anything else other than the phase, that is very difficult, especially considering the current position in the sky.

Thanks for the comment on the exposure. I used iso 800, I will try give it another try on the weekend with lower iso.
