Details:
And one last image of today's main astro-event.
A composition of three images showing the start of Venus ingress, with the planet seen in UV light, with clouds.
Three images were combined to show this:
-one image in UV taken earlier, before the start of the ingress (a 5000 frames stack from 50000 frames, using a Baader UV filter, and same equipment as the other images),
-one image showing the exact moment Venus enters behind the Moon (a stack of just 50 frames to mitigate a bit the seeing but not a long sequence due to the rapid movement of the Moon),
-one image showing better definition on the Moon (a stack of 600 frames out of 4000, acquired before the ingress).
All three shots were merged in Photoshop.
The plus of this image is that the clouds of Venus are also shown during the event, and I belive it adds a bit of depth to the view. Something simmilar to the famous Apollo images of the Earth rise from behind the Moon.
115mm APO refrator, Baader UV and Red filters, ASI183MM.
