I have started imaging this evening apparition of Venus, and I have acquired an
Astrodon-Schuler UVenus filter, which I am using in place of the Baader UV
filter (old type), which I used previously, which suffered from a bad IR leak.
Seeing was very poor and capture was at 8 fps. I used probably too large an
image scale for the seeing, with a 3x Barlow, so I have reduced the images by 66%.
Cloud structure is shown, with bright southern latitudes and the Y-shaped cloud
visible.
