Venus clouds with U-Filter, 15th May 2023

[lukebl]

Hi Folks,

Here's a capture of Venus from this evening, with a capture from 19th April at the same scale for comparison.

Captured with a 250mm f/4.8 Newtonian, 5x Powermate, ZWO ASI290MM Mini cam, Baader U-Filter and Baader IR-Pass Filter.

About 15000 frames captured with the Baader U-Filter, and about 10,000 with the IR Filter. Processed in Autostakkert, Registax and Photoshop. RGB thus: R(IR), G(50%U/IR), B(U).

This is an interesting effect with the Red and Blue channels swapped over.

Excellent images. The clouds look really nice, and yes very similar to mine. I like the size comparison.
