About this image

Up early before the sky brightened to try and catch a UV image of Venus between a neighbours tree and my chimney! Not a very long window of opportunity so planning was needed, as well as coffee.

Everything went to plan remarkably well, even my computer behaved itself.

Some subtle cloud details can be seen.
