Description

Yesterday Venus IR 1000 nm results. This time, full daylight! Following Anthony Wesley technique, tried 100 ms exposure time, working the gain as needed, to get the most frames. Five 5000 frames .avi are produced, lots of clouds interfering, 2 results are passable. Tried WinJupos to add them up, not much better. Indeed looks like there is surface details to be seen. Compare with the simulated WinJupos, using a thermal map, suggests we are getting Beta Regio, the dark extended area. Keep working on it, and using daytime captures greatly extends my window for imaging it before inferior conjunction, with an even slender waning crescent.
