Seeing was fantastic this evening right around sundown so decided to see what Venus had to offer in UV. Maybe my best details in Venus upper cloud features yet! I also captured a near infrared (685nm) version as well. Using the IR as red, UV as blue, and a mix of the two for green, it makes an interesting albeit false color representation of the planet.
