Venus observed

Who said telescopes were just for the birds?

Venus in transit, with the solar image projected onto a wall. The telescope is a Swarovski with x 30 eyepiece, the tripod a Gitzo, and the wall an old sheet of weatherboard.

Taken at about 9.50 a.m. local time, 6 June, Adelaide, South Australia.

Awesome shot, great presentation, tfs. Impossible here, completely overcasted sky. My raw files also show the "Venus" effect sometimes but after cleaning the sensor ...

Well done Rufus. A great picture that is too.

I had no chance - thick cloud cover here.
