Details:
Please Note: Venus comes to inferior conjunction – passing between Earth and the sun – in 2023 at 11 UTC on August 13
(6 a.m. CDT). Inferior conjunctions happens every 19.5 months, or five times in each of the famous Venus 8-year cycles.
I imaged this Venus Crescent from my Manorville, NY observatory on 08-11-23 at 1:24 pm EST @ 55° to the South. My setup was a ZWO ASI224CM camera with a UV/IR cut filter with my EdgeHD 14" OTA. I am glad I got this very hard-to-get Venus Crescent image in the middle of the day. The weather was hot, with a very turbulent atmosphere most of the time I tried to image. To top it off the clouds rolled in and said what are you going to do about it. I had to wait for openings in the clouds that were little and few. The seeing was chappy. With that said: I had to make the best of what I had. Hope you like it anyway.
Kind Regards To ALL 🙂
