Venus UV 21 and 22 May

About this image

Two successive days of improving conditions for Venus in UV gave me the opportunity to try out a new camera that is meant to be an upgrade to the IMX178 mono sensor that has been found to be sensitive in UV. Afer some earlier tests where the 178MM had performed better, on both these days I was able to bring out more detail and a better result ultimately with the new IMX678 mono sensor.
