Venus from the 27th
Seeing was very poor for this. The planet was boiling violently,
probably due to a neighbour's bungalow. Why do they have to turn the heating on in cold weather - I ask you!! ;-) http://www.digitalsky.org.uk/Venus/2005-12.html -- Pete http://www.digitalsky.org.uk

Nice view for the end of this year. -- Norbert.

Amazing how it grow brighter as the crescent gets smaller due to the fact that the apparent diameter is getting larger. Then, the peak is reached and it dips. The crescent is a woderful sight in a telescope. -- Pete http://www.digitalsky.org.uk
