Description

This was one of the trickiest shots I'v done, as Venus was only 10 degrees away from the sun. Because of this, I had to get up at 4 to align my telescope and wait for Venus to rise. This is and afocal image, used in conjunction with a 2x apochromatic Barlow lens and 17mm eyepiece.

Date

July 22nd, 2011, 7 p.m.

Equipment

Canon EOS 50D + EF-S 10mm/3.5

Description

The visibility of zodiac light (an extension of the Sun's corona) is usually associated with the latitudes close to equator. However from such a unique dark site like Arkaroola www.arkaroola.com.au in Southern Australia can be seen during WInter even from 30degrees south. It is interesting to note that not farer than 16 hours drive by car you may see Auroras at the same time (from Morngton Peninsula close to Melbourne)
