Description

Continued imaging of Venus during the 2021 evening apparition.  These images were captured on the night of December 13, 2021. Venus was 47.9 arcsec in diameter and ~17% illuminated in this image. Taken around sunset under average seeing conditions.  Hoping to get at least one more imaging session in before Venus is to low to see from my location at sunset.

Imaged with a C8 Evo, ZWO ADC, Baader UV-IR Cut filter, and ZWO ASI224MC. Imaging train was configured to give ~F/20. Image capture using Firecapture (see below for exposure settings). Stacking in AutoStakkert3 (best 2% of ~60000 frames captured over 180 seconds). Color balancing and Wavelet sharpening in Registax6. Derotated and combined three images in WinJUPOS.

Exposure settings for UV-IR Cut Filter images: Shutter=1.0ms, Gain=250, Histogram=75%, ~260 FPS
