Details:
I had a window of a few hours to shoot Venus at 57.5 arcseconds diameter an 0.4% illumination after a couple of rainy days. Unfortunately the seeing was not great but mediated by the IR pass 742nm filter. Out of 10000 frames i ended up using 10%. At less than 5 degrees from the Sun and with half the mirror of my newtonian lit by our big ball of plasma, it was an incredible sight. In a 10mm Delos eyepiece @ 90x, the blue velvet sky and the bright thin crescent looked like something out of Kubriks's 2001: A Space Odyssey.
