Venus....cool! Isn't it neat that you can see all those different colors of it, in the pics....wonder if that is different gases being released or just the sun shining on it....?
My camera is a piece of crap too, usually doesn't take pics at night, but because this was so bright, i suppose, the pics came out....
I'm dying for a new camera that is a really super duper one....!
Can't imagine what good pics of this it would have taken!

Very cool pics care. My guess is the different colors showing up in your pic is because of the different wave lengths of light that make up colors. The digital zoom on your camera wasn't able to focus on the planet, especially if you were hand holding it, so it just refracted the light into what you got in your pics.
I have a Canon S3 IS, and I'd love a new camera myself. Something along the line of a Nikon D80.
