Subject: daytime Venus

Hi all,

I had a chance to shoot Venus in the afternoon last weekend, and a snowy day today gave me a chance to work on preparing the data:

There were some good sharp frames recorded, but the markings in UV were very subtle and hard to bring out, and I could not find anything at all in the IR data. But it was still a nice day spent image processing with the movie Apollo 13 playing in the background.

best wishes,

Alan
