Hi Jim:

For this color CCD image I used my 10" scope set at f=20 and my Toucam III
with a Baader UV/IR cut filter attached. I believe most imagers stay away
from Venus because they think it has nothing to offer but if you look
closely you'll see there is color to be captured. I think Venus is
a magnificent planet.

Cheers to you, Dan
