Hello and forever goodbye, Venus! (apologies for my bad latin, it's a paraphrase of a lovely old Roman saying...)
Please don't laugh, but here's my 2012 transit photo. They're the best I could do right now...
So I took this....

using nothing but this....

By way of explanation, I'm currently pretty much bedridden due to an intrathecal drug pump failure, so since I can't even get to my scope, let alone set it up, an old Pentax zoom lens and a 10mm objective taped up in a retort stand was the best I could achieve. FWIW, I've been able to show 3 locals the images (which obviously look better in real life!), all 3 of whom went "ho hum"... But I saw it! Woo Hoo!:thumbsup:
Hmmm. Previews fine, but only displays text when I save it. I'll add the photos as attachments.
