The Transit of Venus was a great event, I set up in the morning in my back yard for one hour and some friends and neighbors come over to view then I packed up the scope and headed to another friends place 15 mins drive away and set up there and again several neighbors came to view.
I managed to snap these shots with an old cheap 2mp mobile phone camera held to the eyepiece, I know they are a bit rough and just for fun I played with adding a yellow colour to the shots at home. I would love to see what shots a real camera would have taken. ( Im starting the consider Astro Imaging now, I think I can hear my wallet screaming and running away)
