Description

First attempt at Venus in 2015.

Very low and close to the Sun.

C11 at f/10 - impossible to use any higher - very turbulent atmosphere here on Earth...

The IR 804 nm image looks nice, albeit almost featureless, some hint of the polar circulation.

UV image is worse, but the same circulation pattern is visible, bright in UV as expected.

At just 10 arcsec diameter, Venus is still minuscule for good details, at 233 million kilometer away.
