About this image

Here are some images of Venus approaching dichotomy.

As the contrasts are always very slight in IR, R and B, these images sharpened to the level where the bright limb is burned out. It is seen that the detail in R is similar to that in IR, and in B similar to UV.

As the UV image is always very blurred with my system, I thought I would concentrate on the others, and make an experimental RGB false-colour composite using IR, R and B respectively. The IR/R-bright areas look yellow in this.
