Well lads, its funny season again as the clouds part and we all get a good look at the sky again.
It was clear here today at 15.45, so I had a go at getting Venus.

Like in Franks images, the disk is getting alot bigger while the phase size is reducing. It was so big I couldn't get the entire crescent into he field fo view of the toucam+3xbarlow, so this is with the 2x barlow + 12"LX200. I stacked about 1500 frames, the seeing was poor enough with seconds or clarity. High altitude haze every now and then didn't help either, but I guess that this would be better then nearer to the horizon.
interms of the so called ashen lights...
there isn't anything there in these over processed images, except camera noise.
