Thanks Milton,

I should have included some details.  All taken at approx f/15 with Grasshopper Express and AstroIIDC.  The Venus shot with UV filter.  I tried with an Omega Optics IR filter that passed between 850 and 950 nm but could see no cloud details at all.

Seeing was only so so and Saturn is very low even from Toronto, a little over 20 degrees at best.  Venus was better at over 30 degrees before sunset.

Nicely done Jim;

The Venus one looks especially good - great choice for a colour pallet. Is it UV and IR combined or something else?

Were they all taken at the same focal length or not?

Thanks for sharing..

TTYL..

Took some Venus and Jupiter images on Friday evening, then got up this morning at 1:30 to catch my first Saturn of the season:
