Venus Transit with false colour.

[stardust steve (Steve)]

After an excited, nervous and disappointing start to the Venus Transit due to being clouded out at my preferred location ( at a local Winery) i packed up and set up back at home.
I asked the owner for permission first to set up and after a brief chat it turned out he had a Meade 8 inch computerized scope with fiberglass dome obs
Anyway, here are my images. Most have had a brief adjustment in cs5 and the image with false colour applied had some slight wavelet adjustment in avi stack 2.....still learning the ropes with both programs.

Looks great Steve, nicely presented too.

Hah, fancy the owner having a scope and dome, wow.

Thanks Liz. Yeah i know hey. After i initially asked for permission to set up and had set up. He walked over from his little wine lab to check out my set up. He said are you here for the transit? I said yeah( kinda shocked that he knew) then he proceeded to say well i got an 8" Meade, CCD camera, computer controlled and fiber glass dome!.....Per head of population, the chances of bumping into someone like this is a very low % i think. It was a great spot to view if the clouds had dissipated for me.
Here is the view from that spot.
