Homework...

The astro-imaging group N and I belong to [ he does deep space stuff with his telescope ...I simply use my DSLR] set us a homework challenge for February to capture images of Venus. Not easy as the disc is so very bright and tends to over expose! The moon and the planet are looking wonderful together in the early evening at the moment so I tried both tonight to add some interest. The camera however wasn't correctly on the tripod so fell off and onto my head then the floor! No obvious damage [ to me or camera ] but I haven't tried using it since to ensure its OK ! Fingers crossed.
