Eamon, that's an interesting article.

It brings something to mind. I cannot remember seeing any images of Venus from our astrophotography guy's on these boards.

Come on guy's, lets see what you can get with Venus being a great evening sky object/target now.

John,
you should check out the Transit of Venus threads - there are loads of them on these boards! Just do a search. Lots of the guys here took pictures up to the Transit in June 2004.

Seanie.

Come on Seanie, we have all seen loads of those transit shots.

I am talking about some detailed images of the phase etc.

I know surface detail is not possible but is that why we don't have some better images of Venus than those transit one's. :

Its the phases and relative sizes of venus in the first half of 2004, that brings back alot of memories.

Funnily enough, I tried for Venus only yesterday, but its so low that it was been blocked by neighbouring houses, bummer.
