About this image

A quick process of the IR data from this late afternoon's run at 4.9° elongation in lovely transparent skies. Illuminated arc close to 270 deg if you push the processing. Used one of the trees that blocked my views of Venus when I was doing my 1000nm imaging, as a Sun shield to image safely- getting my own back!

Martin - absolutely cracking result. Astonishing. Are you sure you aren't a Yorkshireman? :-) - Ray -

Thanks Ray, do I display the attributes of one then- doing right by the trees that have wronged me possibly?
