A Brisbane transit series
Hi all,
Here's my efforts from today. I took my scope in to my kid's primary school for the transit, and the weather cooperated nicely. I did a little Powerpoint presentation for about 75 grade 5 kids, then showed nearly 200 grade 5 and grade 4 kids the transit (by projecting an image onto a white sheet of paper in a black bucket). I quickly lost count of how many times I heard "that's awesome!". Most of the students seemed to be interested, and I had some good questions from some of them.
I also took along my camera and 70-200mm telephoto with a home-made Baader filter, and grabbed a few images. The first image is the setup at school, and the rest are of the transit (all 100% crops from the telephoto lens at 200mm).
All in all a great day!
Cheers,
Stephen
