Yesterday 15th March a clear sky after a very warm afternoon  enabled a further viewing of Venus . Several images were  made the  attached being at 18.12 GMT. The  equipment used was my C8 ( circa 1985) on a Super Polaris mount and eyepiece projection using a 20 mm Plossl. Sony 65a SLT  exposure 1/30sec.  Polar alingment  was done by projecting  the Sun’s noonday shadow and drawing a chalk reference line.
