Venus, Mars and Jupiter

Here are 3 shots from last night. The first is Venus shot through an Optica UV filter, then Mars!! Mars is less than 5" of arc and while not much detail can be seen, certainly Mare Sirenum is barely visible. I'm surprised that there was any detail at all!! Finally is Jupiter.

Paul,

Thank you for posting your excellent images of Jupiter, Mars , and Venus. The Jupiter image show much detail between the SEB and NEB. The Mars image shows some detail even though small in apparent diameter. The Venus image shows detail which is impressive considering the subject. Please keep up the excellent work.
