Being as this is my first photographic attempt at Venus, don't expect much. It's a pain in the butt trying to get a good shot. But, it was the first time I tried to takes pics of Venus, so I'll have to practice. I think the ghost image came from the light bouncing off the camera lens, which happens on bright objects when the camera lens and ep lenses aren't aligned perfectly together.

Taken with the Meade LXD75 AR6-AT, Fuji S5000 DSLR, 25mm ep.

Kdog,

Now that is a cool shot of Venus. Really unremarkable in the eyepice, your shot clearly shows the phase it's presently in.

We will get to see Venus going for it's crescent phase, which is always cool to observe.

Good job!...
