Venus in the Ca line
Hi all,
Here’s my first attempt in using the Baader Ca filter (thanks for the loan!) to detect Venus clouds.
This filter (395nm, just 8nm bandpass) delivered a sharper and steadier live image than any else UV pass filter I used so far!
Same shutter and gain levels as before.
The contrast was a tad lower but this is can be fairly compensated by a larger UM or wavelet.
Notice that bright cloud on the top-left corner which recalls the McNaught comet in a some way!
Seeing was nice, transparency good. The Sun was still nicely high above the horizon when shooting.
