    Here is my last attempt to image Venus before it disappears into the sunset (atmospheric turbulence be darned!):



    Cheers!

    What camera were you using, or was it your phone?

    Don't use phones "smarter'n" I am; it was a Nikon Cool-Pix Point 'n Shoot. I got a slightly better pic with a Plossl before, but this time, I was using a Zhumell 14.5 Planetary- barlowed, which may account for the poor quality in a-focal mode. I'm not frustrated though since one day, I'll have more suitable equipment to try imaging. The visual was wonderful tho...
