PhotographerDavid ZammitLocationUnited StatesDate7:53 on June 5 2012EquipmentCanon 600mm F4 with 2X TeleconverterDescriptionGot out of work later than I had planned and raced home. We had been having the worst May gray/June gloom in SD but lo & behold, on this particular day, the weather cleared late morning. I took some filtered shots from the back yard and then we went to Ocean Beach to try and include the OB Pier in the frames. OB was in full party mode, as always. Lucked out on a parking spot and set up approx 20 minutes before sunset. End of Newport Avenue in OB is a magnet for all types of 60's type prophets and gurus so the occasion was colored by many loud pronouncements of Ecstasy and talks of Vortexes. All in all, it turned out perfectly and I got a couple of decent shots to boot. |

PhotographerPaul NewtonLocationAuburn, WADate6/5/12 7:15 pm PSTEquipmentMeade ETX 125 Maksutov telescope with Astrozap Baader solar filter. Photographed a-focally and hand held with an iPhone through the eyepiece.DescriptionI grabbed this photo with my iPhone during the transit and was suprised how much detail I captured. Since the filter removes the color of the Sun, I added the color back in during processing using other transit pictures as a reference. I processed the image using Registax wavelets feature. Some nice granulation features are present. |

PhotographerMikael SvalgaardLocationDenmarkDateJune 6, 2012 - 4.41UTEquipment6" refractor with Daystar H-alpha filter and a Skynyx 2-2M camera.DescriptionI tried to catch the refraction of light in Venus' atmosphere between third and fourth contact. Using progressivly longer exposure times I finally cought a glimpse of the effect at 0.4 seconds. At such a long exposure time our own atmosphere blurs the view quite a bit. The refracted light is visible for roughly 30 degrees across the north pole of the planet. Not quite like the view from the Hinode spacecraft - but still! |
