Dan, Excellent shot! With all your Venus images this season, there may be enough on your harddrive to make a .gif movie of them showing the changing phases. Sat June 9 will be its greatest elongation. Thanks for posting

Regards,
Steve

Hi Steve:

You're right, today the (Earth, Venus) Sun angle is 90 degrees, that means
tonight we enter the crescent phase, it should be quite a spectacular show
from here on out. Steve, that .gif sounds like it would be "great imaging
fun", I already tried one with Saturn. Now I'm planing on doing 3-D shots
of Mars starting in July.

Thanks, Dan
