Took an opportunity to image Venus close to the planet's upcoming inferior conjunction on the 8th of January 2022. Image acquired with a 150mm Maksutov and a ZWO ASI178MM at prime focus and with an 850nm IR pass filter.
Like a day at the beach, sunlight limbs everywhere! Awesome images Rob. Surface detail on Mercury is so cool and does that shot of Venus capture some atmospheric scattering?
