Venus in UV - 19th April

About this image

Having seen Martin Lewis' use of an ADC, I decided to try mine. Unfortunately it is an early ADC and hasn't got as good a pass rate for UV as later ones have, but by slowing my frame rate down from 200fps to 65fps I was able to get some reasonable images of Venus. This composite image compares with and without the ADC. Without th ADC was back to the usual speed.
