Spectacular Venus

Blogged by John Berryman on March 4, 2009 and tagged with Community, Sample Images, Venus.

Many of us the past few weeks have awed at the changing brightness of the Venus Guard that we on Earth are currently privileged to see.

A very good friend of The Imaging Source has supplied us (and You) with yet another brilliant shot from Down Under of the fascinating changing faces of Venus. Matt Watson of Brisbane writes:

This is a composite of R (IR) + G (UV+IR) + B (UV) captured with a Celestron9.25″ SCT, DMK21 AF04, 2.5x Powermate and Astrodon (UV) and Astronomik (IR) filters.
