Description

I had decent seeing conditions just before sunset on 18th August, for these captures of Venus. The patterns in UV are striking and are mirrored to an extent in Violet. Of course, some use Violet Wratten#47 with an IR block filter as a proxy for UV.
Distinct patterns were visible in IR850nm BP and also in each of the RGB broadband colour channels. Thus the RGB colour image again has subtle but distinct banding and there is a correlation with the false colour images, IR(G)UV and spectrum shifted B(V)UV.
I have included the false colour versions as Versions B & C, where you can see the components that made them up.
