Venus observed through telescope.

Observing Venus by astronomical telescope has been very difficult due to atmospheric turbulence, but also because of the long distance to our planet at the time. I've never had the intention to post these images but I changed my mind after a careful analysis and I thought it worthwhile.

Weather conditions were not good enough, so it was harder to look for the clearest video frames and undistorted.
