Venus in Infra Red- high phase

ZWO ASI224MC-S
FILTERS 685nm and 850 nm

The Venus Section Co-Ordinator has encouraged imagers to try and follow Venus up to high phases values . I find imaging Venus to be most successful around dawn. But for most of this year, the image has still been unstable, with little detail disclosed. Undoubtedly, the low planet altitude at dawn is the root cause. But, as the planet gains altitude, features are now starting to reveal themselves.
If I was more competent with Photoshop then I might be able to tease out more contrast, but this seems too brutal a step at this stage. I suspect I need to go back to basics and try to improve contrast in the initial image.
