Venus is now a very thin crescent 61seconds in diameter. Not up very long after Sunset, worse it dives behind tree branches quickly and the mountains to my SW in Tucson. Venus is bright -4 mag until it dives into the horizon haze. The thin crescent is always striking to see,
180 mm Skywatcher Mak telescope, 2X Televue Powermate, and Nikon Z7II camera on a Vixen EQ mount.
A video was stacked and processed by deconvolution and wavelets, ported to Photoshop. The B&W image was colorized to light yellow of Venus CO2 and Sulfuric Acid atmosphere.
