This is a series
of images showing the Venus transit across the Sun on the 8th June 2004.
The first image was taken with a Celestron 80mm f5 refractor fitted with
a Thousand Oaks Ha filter set up and a Nikon Coolpix. This was a bit disappointing
as it did not really show any Ha detail in the Sun. Later images with the
TEC were taken using a Nikon Coolpix and a Phillips Toucam Pro through a
white light filter. There is also a montage showing Venus at different stages
through the transit. |
