Thanks! Appreciate it. Unfortunately we can't see anything besides a round shape. Will try to catch the atmosphere of Venus with a new UV filter.

Venus is a hard one to snap, with it being such a dense atmosphere.
Many scopes don't get past a murky white ball.

I wish you luck, and await the results.
These kinds of photos are always cool.

Indeed it is. Had a try with an UV filter, I think some details can be seen. Might upload it later.

Thanks! I hope that's not all and March will bring better images.

I'm sure it will. Currently the weather is quite bad for me but since I'm quite busy with work right now it's not that much of an issue.
I hope we will have some clear skies in March because I would like to give imaging the Sombrero galaxy a try.

Sounds like a great idea! Looking forward to your Sombrero captures!
