Some nice clouds. It's great to see you capturing some Venus images.

Thanks, it has been a battle this time round.

Next I want to get the loan scope fitted with a electric focuser, it's quite a sight to see venus dance about with the x5 powermate.

Considering your setup, I wonder if the 5x is too much unless seeing is excellent. Your setup is quite similar to mine.  I am close to ff15 with a 2.5x powermate with my 200P and asi462.

I am all manual but an electric focuser sounds nice.

Seeing was good that evening, I have the evening befores to stack as yet when the x2.5 was in the mix.

 

I agree the x5 was pushing it .

Picking up some cloud there. Nice Captures

Nice capture! Look forward to seeing your f15 shots.

Some fine details visible there, the phase is shrinking rapidly now
