Venus transit of sun
Jun 6, 2012 22:36:55 #
Here is one of my better shots of yesterday's Venus transit of the sun. Another astrophotography adventure in the rainy + cloudy Pacific Northwest, but I got enough sun-breaks on the east side of the mountains to at least be able to photo-document that I saw it. Good thing because it doesn't happen again for 105 years!
Shot at ISO 400 at 1,4000 sec through a Hap Griffin modified Canon T2i (internal IR filter replaced with a neutral filter) in direct-focus set-up through an f/4.7 6" Mak-Newt telescope with a solar filter.

I took some pictures of the transit as well but I didn't have my focal reducer yet so I couldn't get the sun entirely in the frame.
