Re: Gallery: Venus Transit 2012
Our group had setup under mostly cloudy skies and we had some very small breaks in the clouds. I was able to see the 2004 transit of Venus and feel very lucky to have viewed both.

Re: Gallery: Venus Transit 2012
I did not have the optics required to take stunning shots of the transit yesterday. I had a great time viewing it through binoculars, and enjoying the crisp, clear afternoon in Reno, NV.
However, the view of the transit as seen from my kitchen was unlike any I've seen yet on this forum.

Re: Gallery: Venus Transit 2012
Mine isn't anything special compared to the others around here. I don't have a telescope, nor a fancy dSLR. I just used a pair of eclipse glasses, a Canon point and shoot, along with a 37mm 4x lens that I held in front of the camera to take this photo.

This was taken through an overexposed radiograph, to filter the sun. This softened the image. Two exposures combined, one for the sun and then one for the windmill/sky.

Mate, that is the best set of shots so far, well, maybe except for NASA's, but they have the best equipment, don't they?owbaughman wrote:I did not have the optics required to take stunning shots of the transit yesterday.

Re: Gallery: Venus Transit 2012
Clouds played a spoil sport at Bangalore, India. But lot of people waited in long queues for the clouds to clear.
Here is the link to my album.

Venus and sun spots on the day of ToV...
No Black drop effect was observed near the 3rd contact...
Do I see Venus's atmosphere?
The rim of Venus seems to be slightly illuminated to me.. Do others see the same?
People standing and waiting for their chance to see the transit through the telescope.

Here is an image of the June 6, 2012 Venus Transit taken a few minutes after the transit maximum from Quezon City, Philippines. We did miss the maximum phase because of cloud cover.[img2]https://fbcdn_sphotos_a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/599189_10150898246199947_1173970978_n.jpg[/img2]

Re: Gallery: Venus Transit 2012
Overcast here for the transit, most unfortunately. But we caught Venus approaching the transit at T-11h24m at 44' from the Sun's limb. The Sun is to the upper right as indicated by the brightness of the planet and the brightness gradient of the field. Both cusps of the slender cresents have merged into a continuous circle. Some variations of surface brightness of the ring are visible, quite possibly detail in the atmosphere. A 25-cm f/6.3 Newtonian (Orion Optics UK SPX250) was used with a Basler Ace ac640-100gm camera and an Astrodon UV filter. The telescope was fitted with a 10-cm off-axis baffle and additional baffling to prevent direct sunlight from entering the focal plane. Image credit: Rok Pucer, Matic Smrekar, Jure Atanackov / ADL.

I explored a few improvisational alternatives for getting an image and luckily this glimpse-through-cloud and mirror-image reflection on the Adelaide Festival Centre glass captured the moment for me! https://plus.google.com/photos/10606769 ... 7807742178
