Venus with iPhone 25/06/23

[PeterStudz]

Taken in daylight at about 7pm on Sunday 25th June. Seeing was good, helped by Venus still being relatively high in the sky. And still surprisingly sharp when using a BST StarGuider 3.2mm giving x375. As it got darker and the planet got lower things certainly got a tad wobbly. 

SkyWatcher 200p Dob on DIY EQ platform. BST StarGuider 3.2mm, no-brand smartphone adapter, iPhone 14 Pro. Short 4 sec video - 4K at 60fps taken with the stock camera app. All editing on the phone - staked using the VideoStack app, processed in WaveletCam and Lightroom.

I’ve included the video (rotated, cropped and basic editing in the stock camera app) as it hardly needed stacking and still shows the phase of Venus well. Although tricky to keep the points on the “horns” nice and sharp.

Hi 

I manage to download your video and stack with a newer version of videoStack for Planet app. Will inform you when this version is approved by Apple. Here you have the horns with 20 best out of 200 frames.

That’s very nice! - many thanks. I’ve done another more recent Venus and got a good result showing the horns using the current version of VideoStack. I’ll post that here soon - work getting in the way.

Looking forward to the latest version.
