Ten days of Venus in UV

About this image

Starting on 20th May I had ten successive afternoons when I was able to image Venus in ultraviolet. For me an unique experience and one with our weather patterns hard if not impossible to repeat! On some of the afternoons I had the best detail in ultraviolet that I have ever been able to capture. UV clouds circle Venus in approximately four days so by reading across the lines of the images it is possible to see the returning features after four days.
