Hi Alan and others;

Super images. Thanks to all for sharing them.

I cropped a small 320x240 area around Venus yesterday from my big 1384x1036 movies, just to show the sort of conditions I was dealing with during VT. It's a short 30 second clip at 22 fps and was taken at 16:19:24 local time.

Astro IIDC was running in Auto Exposure, which is why the brightness of the movie remains pretty constant - despite the clouds.

At the end, I must have had one of those 80+ kmph wind gusts which shakes the mount around.

TTYL..
