Details:
The brilliant planet Venus is now extremely bright and is at a crescent phase, as it gets closer to the Sun in its orbit.
It is very interesting to view Venus through a telescope because it shows phases like our Moon. When it’s a gibbous phase the planet is further away and quite small in the eyepiece, now that it’s showing a crescent phase its much larger and brighter because the planet is closer to us here on Earth ☺
The image was taken with a 10inch Meade GPS Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and a ZWO 120 MC-S camera with a 3x Barlow lens attached. AVI movie file was captured with 1200 frames, which were stacked in RegiStax6, and processed in PS CS4.
