Venus 26th April 2015





Venus taken with my Canon 600D DSLR camera attached to my Meade 127mmm Apo Refractor with a Televue 3x Barlow lens.
 
In April of this year Venus has been sufficiently high in the sky to clear the roof of the rear extension to our house, as a consequence, I managed to image Venus using my largest telescope for the first time.  My previous images of Venus were all captured using my 90mm. Maksutov telescope.

Sadly, the dense Venusian cloud tops show very little detail other than subtle variations in shading.
