Hi. I wrote about this event and luckily the weather is clear and
Venus in the Pleiades looks great. It is very easy to photograph. A regular zoom Lens 300mm a tripod and 2 sec exposure will do the job. Of course better equipment and tracking will yield even better results but I am happy with what I got.
