Venus surface heat detection

About this image

Seeing was excellent before dawn this morning and I was able to gather my best yet data on the night side of Venus. I captured four fifteen minute videos and this image is a stack of the best three. Just after sunrise I also took an image of the dayside of Venus. Included in the image is the WinJUPOS surface map simulation and several features can be mapped with the image.
