Hi ,
this is my first image with the Schuller UV filter.
Comparing with the Baader,Schuller have a beter signal/noise and focusing is very easy because you have a clear Venus on the sceen.
Venus altitude 20 degr.

Kindly regards Richard Bosman

Richard,

Excellent picture. I did not know that cloud features on Venus could be imaged by amateurs. But you certainly have some here. I'll have to check inot one of these UV filters. Thanks for posting.

Richard,

Very, very nice!! After reading some very favourable reviews of the Schuller filter, I ordered one and should have it by the weekend. Your image just added fuel to the imaging fire! grin

Richard, Awesome cloud detail! You must have had some good seeing. I tried using a 2.5X barlow with my C11 on Venus 10days ago in bad seeing and captured 1Gig of distorted frames. I couldn't even find a single decent reference frame! Thanks for posting

Regards,
Steve
