About this image

I bought a Baader U filter about a month ago and initially tried to image Venus using a Skyris 618M camera. Results were not too good so I was forced to invest in a ZWO ASI 2900MM camera as well!

Thanks Chris. Nice to see that the main features of the clouds agree with your image form the same date. This is one of the first decent images I have got. Seeing is certainly a challenge in the UV.

Cheers

Phil
