Venus clouds (29/09/23)

[Kon]

I got a new dual speed focuser for my 200P and I test drive it with Venus this lunch time. I found the focusing a lot easier but I still need to work out a few things. Some details on the UV clouds are coming through. False colour UV and IR filters. 8" Dob, manual, asi462mm, 2.5x TV powermate, IR and UV pass filters.

Nice result Kostas! I bet that duel speed focusser will make life a lot easier.

Thanks Stuart. Indeed, better control on focus. I felt that even under bad seeing I was able to focus a bit better. Let's see what I get with  Jupiter , if clouds ever clear at night.

Clear sky is proving allusive around these parts for sure.

Very nicely done Kostas.
