I know Venus isn’t an appealing planet to view but it was my first image I could capture after all the bad weather we have been having taken with celestron 6SE stacked in autostakert,registax
Is it focused?.
It seems out of focus. At least, for me.
Anyway, nice pic for the first image.
In next days, i’ll post my image of Venus to share.
Regards
OK look forward to it cheers
Hi Angel yep better shot than mine just goes to show what good gear can do, even though I have just basic equipment celestron 6se alt/az, SVBONY 205 cam and 0.63 reducer and gemini focuser am happy with my pic I also have Dwarf 11 I use for stars and nebulas its a great hobby which can be rather expensive as I am retired now but still like trying to get that magic image 
Hi:
Thanks.
My equipment is basic, similar to your and I don’t use any electronic focuser.
For next image of Venus, you should try to image It using the native focal length or a Barlow lens.
I don’t consider myself a very good astroimager.
Yeah, this hobby might be expensive but It depends on everyone and his targets.
The importante thing in this hobby is to know how to get the most out of your current equipment, but step by step.
Regards
I almost never look at Venus. I can the phase and thats about it. Your image is awesome
cheers Mike Angel thought it was out of focus though but I will keep at it
One of these days i am going to try and throw the 16 inch at Venus. I will stick a filter on it to tame it down a bit and see what pops up
Nice imagen but try using lower exposure times
yes but at least it is a bit sharper than your sample I took it with a 30 second video and stacked it to get the best frame and just denoised it in topaz so no real image manipulation basically what come out of the camera
