Hi all -


Captured this Wednesday morning - Venus reaches it's maximum brightness from earth this week.


http://www.avertedimagination.com/img_pages/venus_091907.html


I usually can't catch Venus from my backyard - haven't invested in a UV pass filter which might record cloud details. 

Imaged with RGB filters through my 10" mak/cassegrain at f30.


Video stacked and the images processed using the Alpha 16 version of Astro IIDC 4.0. The images were prepared using two alignment points (one for each cusp). Final image preparation in Adobe Photoshop CS3.


cheers,

Alan
