Default Venus issues

Dear All

I live in Liverpool UK, and at the moment Venus is magnificent in the
evening sky.

My problem is that I am unable to resolve Venus in either of my scopes! I
have a Meade 70 refractor and a Skywatcher 130mm Newt (650 - F5) plus
various EP's and filters etc. However regardless of the combinations I use I
can see no more than an extremely bright light (with refraction
colours/patterns). I have been told that I should be able to resolve Venus
easily - what am I doing wrong?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Steve

Venus/Moon - to Terraform, DNA seed or Not - in spite of whatever you've been told, there's other intelligent life on Venus. Venus simply is NOT insurmountably too hot and nasty. Matt Wiser History 1 February 7th 06 06:02 AM
