Venus transit through an iPhone

[rustigsmed]

Hi,

Here are a couple of pics of the venus transit taken from my iPhone held to the eyepiece. (has anyone got the iPhone lens attachment? - the original file size was around 1-2mb)

Also, of a nice double rainbow before the action started (and the clouds behind which blocked 95% of the transit).

And finally my super dodgey solar filter setup ...

Hi,

That's a really good result I think. Where I was there were a great many school students trying this out, with widely varying results.

So they needed a lens attachment? If they had an iPhone?

BTW when I saw your thread title I thought "OMG, I know Apple has some pretty big phones, but this is a jumbo" :P

Cheers
