About this image

My observatory location is fairly free from trees, considering I'm surrounded by gardens. There is only one conifer which can be problematic. Of course, Venus is right behind it as darkness falls at the present time so I have to wait for it to clear the tree later on. It has lost a lot of altitude by then but I still manage to capture some images of it. Some subtle detail can be seen in the UV.
