Nature Venus transit of Sun

Venus transit of Sun · 06:09 PM

Not a very good photo but it does show Venus against the sun. I'm happy.

This was using my cheap 2x teleconverter and I rigged up a solar filter using filters from an old Davis marine artificial horizon taped to an old filter ring.

Amazing how small the sun actually is when you see it through a filter.

Oh good, because you know what they say, If I can't see it, it didn't happen.
