Description
Second consecutive night of stable imaging conditions for Venus. We are now a few days beyond greatest elongation from the Sun.
After a successful attempt with relatively little data on the 26th, I assumed using more data would guarantee a better image of the night side, but I think that turned out wrong. My two ideas for why are either a slightly shorter exposure (300ms on the 26th, 280ms here) or the conditions were less favorable for catching 1000nm light.
