Description:
This interesting image of the Venus transit was taken at an astronomy club (North Georgia Astronomers) outreach event on June 5th (20:00hrs EDT) in Dahlonega, GA USA. Taken with my f/5 Orion 120ST refractor and glass Orion filter. Sky was clear until 17:50 then started clouding up. Thereafter, attendees at our event managed to get some tantalizing glimpses thereafter - until sunset. The clouds provided an interesting contrast to the transit itself. Because it was a public event, I did not have my normal DSLR camera in place and just took a quick shot with the cell phone camera.
