The main challenge for me is that I have a complete manual setup so finding Venus was a bit of a challenge at the beginning as I was capturing all the images during daytime with the sun high up. Venus is bright once you find it with the finder scope but not to the eye looking up at the sky. The advantage of capturing it in the daytime is that there is less atmospheric disturbance and more stable seeing to get the finer UV details. In contrast, captures in the late afternoon or after sunset give more noisy images
