Equipment Details:

TELESCOPE:
Celestron Powerseeker 50AZ

CAMERA
Olympus TG-4
26 photos were then taken with a basic & compact camera on microscope mode through the eyepiece, before I got a sharp image. The focal range is very limited so it is very hard to keep the camera looking through the eyepiece & the telescope aimed in the right direction !

Post-processing Details:

Adjusted levels & contrast, sharpened.

Image Details:

Venus is impossible to see with the naked eye now, & very hard with the telescope even when knowing where to look in the bright sky just after sunset.
