Venus comparisons in IR wavelengths

About this image

For once the sky was clear during the daytime and Venus was quite steady apart from the occasional passing plane heading to or from Heathrow. This gave me a chance to compare four different IR filters with both a straight IR image and then a stretched as far as possible one to pick up details in the clouds. As I was using a colour camera I left the images to take the tone that they did at the different wavelengths.
