I sort of have Venus fatigue, but still wanted to get a decent image of the thin crescent. We had good transparency and decent seeing here this morning. I set up a "sun shade" to keep the sun off the scope, and waited for Venus to rise above it. This was at 8:38 AM CDT, with my C11 @ f/10 and ToUcam. I think I satisfied my Venus-crescent-image need with this one.

Wat ta ya reading my mind. That is an awesome shot. I have Venus fatigue also but still want to watch it as it shrinks in phase and size. Now its time for Mercury!!!
