Hello:

Here's my Transit of Venus picture, and didn't know there was

a plane in it until I opened the thumbnail.

So it's cool!

It was a Canon Rebel T2i, with a Kenko (35mm type) 420mm - 800mm

zoom lens, with a Baadar solar film filter: since it was at a high shutter

speed I think fast at 1/4000th (and 100 ISO) I only used a tripod instead of

tracking mount. And I was just lucky.

Now all we need are some good comets, like Hale-Bopp was in the 90's.

Thank you.

Nice capture David

Your very lucky to get that shot.

Definitely the right place at the right time.

Great shot--APOD material. Only problem is the colour--Venus and the plane should be black.
