This was a quick peek at Venus taken right before covering my gear after a long night of imaging. I was surprised that it showed so well using a DSLR without any sort of Barlow of Powermate. Venus is currently showing a waxing gibbous phase and is slowly shrinking as it draws ahead of the Earth in its orbit around the sun. (Photo credit: John Graham, 11/16/2023)
