Narrowband Venus

Hi all -

I used a collection of Baader narrowband filters to record these images of Venus - H-Alpha (655nm) , Solar Continuum (540nm) and CaK (395nm). The CaK filter is close enough to the UV wavelengths to show a bit of cloud detail.

best wishes,
Alan

Hi Alan,

great results, using the CaK solar filter for Venus shows nice cloud details. I like these IR/G/UV false color composites, the yellow tone looks as acidly as Venus atmosphere should be wink I hope I have clear skies soon to try Venus myself.

best wishes & clear skies,
Oliver

Hello Alan,

truly an interesting experiment. I particularly like the strange hue that the combination of the RGB filter gave.

As usual an excellent job!

Ciao
