Transit of Venus Composite Timelapse Image now in colour and larger

Hi all,

Sequence spans a 6 hour period from second contact (left) at 8:30am (Australian EST) through to third contact (right) at 2:30pm. The shots in between were taken at half hour intervals.

Canon 60D
Baader Hyperion 8-24mm Zoom EP
H-alpha Coronado PST (Personal Solar Telescope)
NEQ6 Pro Goto Telescope Mount
50 images stacked together in Registax 6 for the faint prominences around the solar limb.
5 images stacked together for the surface detail of the sun and one of the Venus images.
Additional 12 images of Venus processed individually and then layer masked on top of the background image in PS CS3.
Captured in monochrome and a false colour added at the end.

Image can be found here http://greg-gibbs.deviantart.com/art...enus-307031410 Just click on it for the larger size.

Cheers
Greg
