Photograph Venus
With a normal camera lens
It is easy to photograph a landscape with Venus in it in the evening, before it gets totally dark (until the end of May) or in the morning when the day dawns (from late June). Settings can be left on automatic.

With a telephoto lens
At the end of May, in the evening, or late in June, in the morning, the crescent of Venus will measure nearly 1’ in its greatest dimension (and less than 10" wide).
With a telephoto lens of 300 mm focal length, which gives a 10 to 20 pixels picture, depending on the camera sensor, the crescent will be small but still visible.
With a telescope
Here are three ways to photograph the crescent of Venus. In each case, it is essential to carry out tests.
- 1. Instrument + ocular + compact digital camera fixed behind the ocular. You can buy a system for attaching the unit behind the ocular or make your own.

- 2. Instrument without ocular + webcam without lens (possibly with a Barlow lens). Again, you can buy a system that enables you to attach the webcam to the eyepiece holder.
- 3. Instrument without ocular + digital reflex camera without lens (possibly with a Barlow lens).
