Venus 30 Dec 2007 showing how the colours are seperated by the atmosphere
Venus was very low in the west when I shot this, one of my first webcam images with my LX90 8". Registax's align RGB function sorted out the colour separation.

LX90 8" UHTC with Moonfish 2x ED 2" barlow, 2" Baader Neodymium filter and SPC880/900 unmodded webcam. The filter makes a real difference to the contrast between the light and dark features. Guided by QHY5 on Finderscope with PHD. Captured with SharpCap.
This is the full size image 500/1000 frames, no processing except AviStack's automatic stuff and bit of tweaking the wavelets in AviStack.
