Venus Nightside 9th Sept. 2023

About this image

Venus is now significantly higher in a darker sky than when I imaged on the 6th, allowing more data to be gathered before the dreaded twilight washes over. This is my most detailed view to date of the nightside, showing multiple areas of agreement with the Magellan based Winjupos map.
