Also included last night's image again as some were not able to open it due

Here are some images of Venus approaching dichotomy.

As the contrasts are always very slight in IR, R and B, these images sharpened to the level where the bright limb is burned out. It is seen that the detail in R is similar to that in IR, and in B similar to UV.

As the UV image is always very blurred with my system, I thought I would concentrate on the others, and make an experimental RGB false-colour composite using IR, R and B respectively. The IR/R-bright areas look yellow in this.

 


 

Yours,
