The trees are about two miles away so their silhouettes worked out well against the setting sun. |

PhotographerEric Escalera / Cristian ValenzuelaLocationBrewarrina, NSW, AustraliaDateJune 6, 2012EquipmentLunt 152mm refractor telescope / camera Nikan D3100DescriptionChile may be renowned for its clear skies, but the last transit of Venus was not visible from this country. So a group of chilean astronomers decided to travel to Australia to witness it, namely at Brewarrina, a very small town of New South Wales. And it worked well : in this reversed 2-colours sequence, the right pictures show the ingress of the planet, the left ones show the exit of the planet, some six and half hours later, while the middle pictures correspond to the maximum phase, that is when Venus appeared at its closest to the centre of the sun disc. We are very happy that the weather turned good indeed, as this is the only observation of the complete phenomenon from chilean astronomers...

PhotographerJim GampetroLocationBuffalo, WYDateJune 5, 2012 approx 4:30 pm MDTEquipment30 year od Meade LX 8", 20 year old sun filter, 38mm plossl, Fujifilm finepix 700 non-slr digital, hand held, afocal.DescriptionSorry last one I sent was too large. Trying to show what can be done with old outdated, inexpensive equipment. I cannot see any difference between this photo and those published using much more complicated and expensive equipment and methods, frame stacking etc. No photo processing was done other than scaling the image down to your requirements. |
