Nature Venus passage 2012

Venus passage 2012 · **4 Likes**

Going through som old files and found this one ; The latest Venus passage in June 2012 as seen through one of my telescopes.
My Pentax k-30 was mounted by an adapter and My SkyWatcher 150 Pro Maksutov did the job as a lens.

Cool shot. My son did a similar shot. I'm looking forward to the solar eclipse in 2024. Thanks for sharing.

We are in the total eclipse zone in 2024.

The portent of this image is mind-bending for me.
Just a huge red circle, containing a mini black circle, and a few little dots.
That is all that our camera sees. But our eyes cannot see even that!
And yet, the portent of those circles are beyond human comprehension!
Good shot--good use of the photographic medium!
Angky.

Excellent! Unfortunately it was cloudy that day where I was, otherwise I would have at least tried to observe it.

Thank you Angky
It is mind bending thinking about distances and number of objects out there for sure.
