About this image

This will be my last night side attempt from my observatory for this season as I now only have ten minutes when the Sun is low enough below the horizon to stand a good chance of picking up detail on Venus. The next time I will be able to observe at home there will be no time at all when the Sun is low enough. Any further imaging of the night side in the next few weeks will be with the kind help of a colleague at a less obstructed location.
