About this image

I captured this quick image of Venus in quite blustery conditions. Wind was moving the scope and the seeing was really poor. If it was possible to have Antoniadi VI, then that is what I would have called it! Although I think a lot of the trouble was caused by thermal issues in the scope and dew shield caused by the Sun.
