Venus Transit by robv

Venus Transit

photo 603
Playing catch up while out of town, posting this shot of Tuesdays transit of the Sun by Venus a day early in my calendar. A coworker brought his telescope in to watch the event so I just held my phone up to the eyepiece and tried a couple of shots. I'm pretty happy with what I got. Venus is the dot at lower left, the others are sunspots.

Fav - so cool. We made pinhole cameras out of a pair of binocs at school ... but I forgot my actual camera .
Kids were still pretty excited about it.
