About this image

The Venus crescent gets more and more elegant as it slims down for its date with inferior conjunction. Poor seeing for this capture, but Autostakkert and Registax worked their magic!

A beautiful smooth crescent. I appreciate that the near-IR filter helps here, but the result is excellent nonetheless. Must try one!
