Venus (from Knockbain) 09/05/04 - Maarten de Vries

This is one of the better images I have ever been able to take from Venus. It was taken on the 9th of May 2004. The seeing was not even that great, but slow enough to get the odd reasonably well shaped result. This image is taken with a Minolta Dimage 404 through a 10mm Plossl on my Helios Apollo 150 at 1/5 second. It is a single image with no post image processing applied. Maarten
