Hi I am not sure as I set the white balance on the camera,I will have to look into my data and do some research.The camera was a gp290c and I know it has an extra green channel on the chip.

Hi all I have had a play around using adobe cs2 with the original images,I think I might have bought out a bit more detail of Venus.I thought I would share the two new images.Thanks for looking.

Nice images, but these are not details. Are artifacts artifacts caused by overprocessing. Yuo can take some details of venus clouds only with a UV filter. yuo can find some informations here https://www.astroandnature.com/blog/pos ... -19-venus/
