And another shot of Venus. This time with the “big boy”, the 14 inch scope under good seeing conditions. The observation was done in daytime, at a pleasing 20 degrees Celsius and some wind. At the eyepiece (at 100 to 300x) the very thin crescent, now almost a full arc-minute in diameter, looks fantastic. Must have another shot in the next few days…
And a brighter view:
