Venus has no any detail due to its thick cloud. only phase changing can be observed.
on Jan 2, 01; Mars appeared 50% phase but quite low image stability from high turbulent atmosphere caused by (1) low altitude (2) hot air current from hot ground surface.
normally, many deep-sky objects were found around zenith (altitude 50-60 degree) and after midnight. On such condition the turbulent & light polluted will be minimized.

on Jan 14, 01; it appeared bigger but lesser in phase. Home
