Not really, Venus is always just greyish! :} But the sentiment is appreciated!

Well I think it's awesome for Venus (all things are relative) given my own modest efforts #1 (http://forum.orpington-astronomy.org.uk/index.php?topic=10273.0) and #2 (http://forum.orpington-astronomy.org.uk/index.php?topic=10281.0). But yes, it's never going to look as exciting as Jupiter, Saturn or Mars.
