About this image

This is simply the most detail I have ever been able to capture in UV of Venus. A brief late afternoon period of a steady Venus coupled with an unusual cloud pattern that stood out. Only fifteen minutes later I lost my view of Venus as it went behind my own house.

Agreed. Over the years this is the best ever ground based image of Venus I have seen. Congratulations. Well done Peter.
