Details:
I was very excited to finally capture Venus going down in the western sky this evening. Because of all the bushfire haze it displayed these pretty colours due to its brilliant light being scattered by our smoky atmosphere. I could have processed the colours out but this is exactly what Venus looked like in the eyepiece of my telescope and the camera has captured it…
Venus is an interesting planet to observe because it’s an inner planet from us and closer to the Sun so it displays phases just like our Moon; at the moment it’s a gibbous shape :-)
I have included imaging details on the photo; a short AVI movie of 400 frames was captured (because Venus was jumping all over the place) and stacked them in RegiStax6 and processed in PS CS4.
