<\/p>\nOn the evening of the 3rd of March, I went out to try and catch Venus\u00a0in the western sky that evening as it approached inferior conjunction on the 25th. I wanted to see how much the size and phase of the planet had changed since I last imaged it just a week ago on the 2nd of March.\u00a0Despite the evening looking very murky and the planet constantly moving behind cloud, here’s the result with the DMK21 camera.<\/p>\n
Then it was onto the bright gibbous Moon over in the eastern sky.
\nI rattled off a number of images with the DMK41 camera.
