About this image

I hadn't planned to image Venus in the early hours but the cats managed to set off the internal intruder alarm and as I couldn't get back to sleep I went out for a predicted clear spell only to find it cut short by clouds after 45 minutes. Luckily before then Venus either side of dawn was quite steady and I was able to capture some useful detail if only briefly.
