Sun (and Venus???) behind the clouds in IR
Nov 22, 2016 17:15:37 #
Some time back at the end of April, I bought a new, to me, IR modified camera. I went outside and pointed at the sun. The sun was buried behind the clouds, I could look straight at it with the unaided eye.
So Ed was helping me with something and suggested I learn to use luminosity masks, and I just grabbed this photo to play with...YES ED I KNOW I OVER COOKED IT
, but not the subject here...
I'm not sure what the apparent size is of Venus, but I do know it was in the area of this other object in the photo, see southeast of the sun...

I like your Sun shot. But worry about your eyeballs.
You only get two, don't burn them out.

It's pretty cool to get a view of where bout's the planets are in relation to the Sun, and us ameba's.

Yes, if it is that, it was an accident, I was just checking to see if the camera worked.

I think that is too big to be Venus... I suspect it's just a bit of lens flare, although I agree that it does appear to be in the same area. It does look big on the chart, but they do that just to show brightness - it really isn't much bigger than a star...

Definitely too large to be Venus.
Here is a shot that I did back in 2012 when Venus crossed the face of the sun.
That won't happen again until 2117.
Still a nice shot but don't make a habit of looking at the sun that way.
Just as you can get a sunburn on a cloudy day, you can concentrate too much energy to your eyes without the proper filter you run the risk of injury.

I was only trying to show the actual size of Venus in relation to the Sun.
lol.. Thanks but now I feel bad for posting it.

I was wondering if maybe he was thinking this other spot might be it?

Thanks Jim, I thought it was a bit large for the sun...it's odd that it's there, it's not like when your camera takes a pix of the bright sun and you get those smaller trailing images. It was really buried in the clouds.

My nemesis is the Dumbbell Nebula. I decided that, since I can't stack anyway.
And it was one of the first things I managed to image....
