Equipment Details:

GSO 6 Inch F5 Newt
QHY5III462C 0.5x Reducer UV/IR Cut Filter
Nikon 1 J5
Canon 550d + 55-250mm Lens
IOptron CEM25P

Post-processing Details:

The wide image in the collage is stacked in AstroSurface - processed from a single video but stacked separately for the Moon and Venus (because of their relative motion) and then combined. The trail has been made using StarTrails. Other images are single shots.

Image Details:

Here are some shots that I managed after the lunar occultation of Venus was over (I missed the occultation to clouds). The images show our moon and Venus close together.

The wide image is a stacked image - stacked from the same video but separately for Venus and the Moon due to the relative motion. It was captured with QHY5III462C 0.5x UV/IR filter on GSO 6 F5 Newt. Bottom left is a trail captured with Nikon 1 J5 and kit lens. Second from left is a single shot with Canon 550D attached to GSO6inch F5 Newt. Third from left below is a single image (cropped) captured with Canon 550d and 55-250mm lens at 250mm. Bottom right is similar, different exposure settings showing a bit of earthshine.
