Venus in IR 19-21 September

About this image

Venus is still relatively small as it slowly approaches our side of the Sun. I have a brief window when the Sun is blocked by my house and I can risk pointing the SCT at Venus as it swings towards the West in the late afternoon. It has taken me a while to work out the right exposure and gain settings to pick out faint cloud features in IR but thankfully I now have an idea how best to do this without overexposing the original data.
