Here are some shots that I managed after the lunar occultation of Venus was over (I missed the occultation to clouds). The images show our moon and Venus close together.

The wide image is a stacked image - stacked from the same video but separately for Venus and the Moon due to the relative motion. It was captured with QHY5III462C 0.5x UV/IR filter on GSO 6 F5 Newt. Bottom left is a trail captured with Nikon 1 J5 and kit lens. Second from left is a single shot with Canon 550D attached to GSO6inch F5 Newt. Third from left below is a single image (cropped) captured with Canon 550d and 55-250mm lens at 250mm. Bottom right is similar, different exposure settings showing a bit of earthshine.

The wide image in the collage is stacked in AstroSurface - processed from a single video but stacked separately for the Moon and Venus (because of their relative motion) and then combined. The trail has been made using StarTrails. Other images are single shots.
