Color film image of Venus
This is the only film image I have from Venus, the didital images I've shot are much better.
For capturing planets I exclusively work with the Logitech Quickcam VC.
The big "pros" for using a didital camera are: instant pictures, many adjustments possible while shooting,
no need for scanning. The "cons" are: need of a computer, limited resolution (320x240p).
