Description

Today’s goal was to capture the sickle of Venus, but it’s a dangerous thing to be 5 ° above the Sun, especially with a 20-centimeter tube. I solved the masking with a piece of cardboard I put on the photo stand. And the search was solved by Cartes Du Ciel, with which I first aimed at the Sun, then I switched the tube to Venus, and finally I took off the lid ... Although it would have been so easy to assemble the system, with which I struggled for 45 minutes.

The first planetary photo of my life made with a stacking, lucky imaging process. Obviously there could be something better and he could have trouble that I don’t see, but I’m very happy with that sight.
