Hi all -
From Wednesday morning, about 7:10EDT.
I was up imaging mars and was startled by the brilliant beacon in the east (Venus reaches it's maximum, -4.8, this week) - had to turn the scope away from Mars to make sure it wasn't a plane headed in my direction. Venus is usually out of reach from my backyard pier location, I haven't shot it often and don't have a UV pass filter. This was recorded in RGB using my A-P 10" mak/cassegrain at f30, DMK 21BF04 camera. Image capture and processing in Astro IIDC and Adobe PSCS3 on a Mac platform.
Captured on the morning of my 26th wedding anniversary - I've dedicated this image to the goddess in my life, Donna Massimo, who has always supported my obsession with this hobby!
clear skies and best wishes,
Alan
