CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!

Correct. If you take a picture of venus using visible light colour range and in a "well" balanced manner, it should be whitsh yellow.

But taking a picture of venus in visible light range shows no features at all. So pictures of venus is usually taken in UV or IR.
